4. If the floppy disk drive containing the diskette is
designated drive
"b:install2" and press [ENTER] key.
5. When all the diskette files have been copied to
the hard drive, a message will appear stating the
installation of the desired software version is
complete. In addition, the message states that if
this is the first time the STATEX III PTU software
has been installed on this computer, it may be
necessary to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files to ensure proper operation.
a. The file C:\CONFIG.SYS must have the FILES
variable set to a minimum of 20 and BUFF-
ERS variable set to a minimum of 20.
b. The file AUTOEXEC.BAT must have the fol-
lowing directory included in the PATH vari-
able:
Enhanced Version 1.00 -
C:\GEOHV3E\TOOLS\BATS
Version 14.00 -
C:\GEOHV\TOOLS\BATS
6. If necessary, edit the above files using DOS to
change the minimum FILES and BUFFERS vari-
ables and to add the PATH statement as
described above.
7. Remove the diskette from the drive and reboot
the computer if the changes described in step 5
were required.
8. When using the software, at the DOS C:> prompt,
type "geohv3e" to start the Enhanced version
1.00 program or type "geohv" to start the ver-
sion 14.00 program.

PTU/Truck Communication Problems
or
Communication problems will occur if the amount of
DOS free memory available on the PTU is less than
460K bytes after the software has loaded. If signifi-
cantly less than 460K is available, it will not be possible
to communicate with the truck at all.
In some instances, if the PTU has less than (but very
close to) 460K available, the software may appear to
function properly until features such as retreiving and
saving an event to a file are attempted at which point
the program will terminate.
To determine the amount of free memory available,
start the software program and on the Main Menu,
observe the amount of "free memory:" displayed in the
upper right corner of the screen (see Figure 2-2). If the
amount shown is less than 460K, it will be necessary to
free up memory before using the PTU.
Suggestions for obtaining more free memory:
The following suggestions provide a starting point to
provide additional free memory. If necessary, edit the
laptop's CONFIG.SYS as follows:
•
Load DOS and device drivers into high mem-
ory.
•
Eliminate any TSR (terminate-stay-ready) pro-
grams such as shells or antivirus programs. Do
not allow Microsoft Windows™ to load.
•
Disable PCMCIA card drivers if the laptop is
equipped with PCMCIA slots.
•
If DOS version 6.2 or higher is used, it is advis-
able to create multiple start-up configurations.
This will allow the user to choose the appropri-
ate configuration from a menu list for the
desired use of the laptop computer. A CON-
FIG.SYS file can be created for specific use
with the GE software, preventing unwanted
drivers from loading and using the required free
memory. Alternate menu choices will allow the
computer to boot and load the necessary driv-
ers for other functions such as Microsoft Win-
dows™.
Note: Consult the laptop computer manufacturer's
instructions and the DOS operating system technical
manuals for editing the CONFIG.SYS file, creating
multiple configuration files, and additional suggestions
to obtain maximum free memory.
If Microsoft Windows™ is installed on the computer, be
certain to operate in MS-DOS mode, NOT Windows.
