INSTALLATION OF OPERATING
SOFTWARE AND CONFIGURATION
Insert the diskette BEDI V50_1 into drive a:, and then
type
a:install
The installation program is then activated and expects
the following inputs:
Operating language
Colour setting for the screen
New installation, modify settings or install options?
Select New installation
The file config.sys is checked and modified if
necessary. The old file is retained as config.old
Source drive for the installation diskettes. The desti-
nation drive is always c:
Also install
GCLAN
and
GCARCHIV
? Only select
YES if you have actually purchased these programs.
The installation program then creates the directories
and copies all required files into the control unit. You
will be asked to insert further diskettes into drive a:.
The installation program then expects the following in-
puts:
Interface on control unit for ChromLAN
Transmission rate for ChromLAN
Number of chromatographs per interface
Is the printer on the control unit to be used for re-
sults and alarms?
Are the date and time to be synchronized automat-
ically in the chromatograph?
Number of reports and chromatograms on the con-
trol unit
Parameterization of control unit
You can subsequently set the parameters in the control
unit. The operating software must be left in order to
modify the parameters. Type:
cd \bedi
install
The installation program is activated and asks whether
you wish to carry out a new installation, to modify
settings or to install options. Select Modify settings.
Modify the desired parameters, and then leave the in-
stallation program.
IMPORTANT:
The control unit must be reset when the par-
ameters have been modified in order to acti-
vate the new parameters!!
Transmission rate
You can set different baud rates for the two serial inter-
faces of the control unit. Please note that it is not
possible to use every baud rate for every type of inter-
face (see Networking).
Number of
chromatographs in ChromLAN
Each time the operating software is started, you must
check the number of chromatographs which are present
in the ChromLAN. The operating software can only
recognize that a chromatograph is not present in that a
monitoring time expires. This takes quite a time for the
maximum number of chromatographs.
To avoid unnecessary waiting, enter the actual number
of chromatographs in the network.
IMPORTANT:
Chromatographs must only be entered for an
interface if at least one chromatograph is con-
nected there! Otherwise the operating software
is blocked.
Use of printer on control unit
for results and alarms
The print information is stored in files if the printer
fails e.g. because the paper has run out.
Problems may occur if you enter Use printer even
though a printer is not present since a huge file is
generated on the hard disk for each chromatograph.
Synchronization of date and time
Chromatographs with PCPU-2 no longer have a clock
with battery backup! Following a power failure, the
chromatograph clock is set to 1.1.1980, 0:00. The chro-
matograph clock can be synchronized with the clock of
the control unit, however. The control unit must be per-
manently connected to the chromatograph in this case.
Number of reports/chromatograms
on the control unit
Do not select too many files, otherwise the computer
will become slow.
