Personal Computer (PC) Installation
Machine Requirements
The BAS Windows software was written for use on BAS PCs. Other IBM
compatible PCs may be able to run this software, but there are no guarantees.
The MINIMUM requirements for the BAS Windows software are:
a) 80386 processor running at 16 MHz, together with a math co-processor.
b) Hard disk drive.
c) MS-DOS version 5.0 or greater.
d) MS-Windows 3.1 or greater.
e) VGA monitor.
f) 2 serial interface connectors (one for communication with the Electrochemical
Analyzer and one for plotting using a serial port plotter)
g) 1 parallel interface connector for a parallel port printer (e.g., laser printer).
h) PS/2 mouse (do NOT use a serial mouse).
PC Connections
The important connections are:
a) VGA video display connector.
b) Keyboard connector
c) PS/2 mouse connector
d) Power cable connectors for the system unit and the monitor. The female ends
the two power cables should be connected to these. The male end of the
monitor power cable should be plugged into the power socket on the rear of
the system unit. The male end of the system unit power cable should be
connected to a grounded power strip or outlet. It is VERY important to check
that the correct voltage has been chosen using the line voltage connector
(110/220 V). It is also advisable to install a line noise/surge protector between
the power source and the PC.
