2.1 Startup by Commissioning Terminal

The extracted IBS tool diskette contains your local tool in the directory ASBEDIEN. Install
this on your PC to be used for commissioning of the AS 488/TM according to the
installation instructions in the document file ASBEDI_E.DOC in the directory ASBEDIEN,
and connect your PC to the serial commissioning interface of your AS 488/TM via a serial
interface.
For operation under Windows 3.1, a PIF file is delivered with the software. This contains
the following settings: run in full screen mode, exclusive foreground execution, foreground
priority very high.
For operation under Windows 95, the following setting should be specified: idle time
activity very low; no screen saver.
Alternatively the new NT version can be used (see chapter 4.2).
Using your "Commissioning terminal" installed in this manner and the commands of the
ASBEDIEN input program you can operate and monitor your AS 488/TM for install and
diagnostic like an AS 235 and also access all data on the memory card inserted in the
AS 488/TM.

Read the parameter files which have to be processed to enable parameterization from the
memory card into a file on your PC using the command "COPY_PC ...". You can modify
this file on your PC according to your system configuration using the ASCII editors which
can be executed under DOS, and then write them back onto your memory card using the
ASBEDIEN command "COPY_TM ...".

Note:
Before starting the UPGRADE/UPDATE activities, please ensure that a current backup of
the customer's system and any files that are to be modified exists. This will allow the
previous software version to be restored in the even of unforeseen circumstances. The
files on the memory card are not write protected, so care should be taken when accessing
the memory card.
To back up the files from the memory card to your archive, use the ASBEDIEN command
"COPY_PC ...".
