This chapter provides the steps to connect, power up, and run NetScan using the TCP/IP protocol.
Although there are many ways to configure NetScan, this Startup is intended for a simple setup.  In addition
to the following steps, this chapter includes a section on basic concepts and a ChartViewNET tutorial. These
are provided to help you gain a better understanding of the ChartView program.  Note that Chapter 7,
Hardware Setup, contains detailed information pertaining to hardware issues and includes RS-232 and
RS-422 information.

 

 

An understanding of several basic concepts will help you master ChartViewNET more quickly, and should
be understood before proceeding with the tutorial.

 
 

 

 

ChartViewNET refers to a ChartView program that has the network feature of the program
activated, much like ChartView Plus refers to a ChartView program that has the enhanced
chart feature of the program activated.  The NET and Plus features are each activated by
separate registration ID codes; thus it is possible to have ChartViewNET Plus (when both
codes are used).  For ease of discussion, this chapter’s use of the term ChartView also refers
to ChartViewNET; and ChartView Plus refers to ChartViewNET Plus.

 

 

 

ChartView makes use of one or more “user transparent” configuration files.  Configuration files maintain
information regarding various aspects of your setup, serving as an initialization file for subsequent
ChartView startups. These files can be recognized by their 

 extensions.

 
 
 
 

Note: 

When you run ChartView for the very first time there will be no configuration file; however, one
will automatically generate and be saved after each use of the program.
