2.1 Startup by Commissioning Terminal

The extracted IBS tool diskette contains your local tool in the directory ASBEDIEN. Install this on your PC to be used for commissioning of the AS 488/TM according to the installation instructions in the document file ASBEDI_E.DOC in the directory ASBEDIEN, and connect your PC to the serial commissioning interface of your AS 488/TM via a serial interface.

For operation under Windows 3.1, a PIF file is delivered with the software. This contains the following settings: run in full screen mode, exclusive foreground execution, foreground priority very high.

For operation under Windows 95, the following setting should be specified: idle time activity very low; no screen saver.

Alternatively the new NT version can be used (see chapter 4.2).

Using your "Commissioning terminal" installed in this manner and the commands of the ASBEDIEN input program you can operate and monitor your AS 488/TM for install and diagnostic like an AS 235 and also access all data on the memory card inserted in the AS 488/TM.

Read the parameter files which have to be processed to enable parameterization from the memory card into a file on your PC using the command "COPY_PC ...". You can modify this file on your PC according to your system configuration using the ASCII editors which can be executed under DOS, and then write them back onto your memory card using the ASBEDIEN command "COPY_TM ...".

Note:

Before starting the UPGRADE/UPDATE activities, please ensure that a current backup of the customer's system and any files that are to be modified exists. This will allow the previous software version to be restored in the even of unforeseen circumstances. The files on the memory card are not write protected, so care should be taken when accessing the memory card.

To back up the files from the memory card to your archive, use the ASBEDIEN command "COPY_PC ...".

2.1.1 Upgrade / Update Data

The data for the upgrade/update procedure is existing on the upgrade diskette as self- extracting exe file. For extracting please start the file UPGRADE.EXE! If the pre-adjusted path is kept, the following directory structure is created on your PC / programming device:
