Introduction and Installation
1.4 Properly 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.
1.4.1 Installing 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.
1.4.2 Installing 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
