Properly Installing the Programmer Software

1.4Properly Installing the Programmer Software

Installing software is exactly the same whether you are using the Microcontrol- ler Programmer or the Gang Programmer. Insert the diskette supplied with the programmer into the PC disk drive and use one of the following methods to copy the contents of the diskette to a directory in your hard disk.

1.4.1Installing the Software in a Single Directory

This method is simple and suitable for a single user with only a few source files.

1)Make a directory to contain your programmer files.

MKDIR \370

2)Change your working directory to the directory you just created.

CD \370

3)Copy the files from the diskette.

COPY A:*.*

4)See Section1.5 for a description of how to invoke the programmer soft- ware.

1.4.2Installing the Software in Multiple Directories

This method is useful if there are several different users or if one user is work- ing on several different projects.

1)Create a directory for your programmer files.

MKDIR \370

2)Copy the programmer files into your programmer directory:

COPY A:*.* \370\*.*

3)Create project directories.

MKDIR \PROJ1 MKDIR \PROJ2

4)Add the programmer directory to the path command in the AUTOEX- EC.BAT file.

PATH C:\DOS;C:\PROG;C:\REP;C:\370

where C:\370 is the added path to the programmer directory.

5)Include a set command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:

SET IPCDIR=C:\370

If the device table cannot be found elsewhere, the set command causes the programmer to search the programmer directory for the default device
