2.0 INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE SWCPS DOS PROGRAM

A control panel simulation software program included on the floppy disk allows an IBM-compatible personal computer to operate as a virtual control panel for up to eight SW series inverter/chargers.

For other computer platforms, See SECTION 3.0 OPERATION, Use of the SWCA with Terminal Emulation Programs, on page 9.

To install the software, insert the floppy disk into your computer floppy drive and copy the file from the floppy disk provided to the hard disk on the computer. Remember the location of this file on the hard disk for later reference. Alternately, the program can be run directly from the floppy disk.
