Software Installation

What you will Need

(Recommended Minimum Specification)

Pentium 3 Processor
256 MB RAM
CD ROM
60 MB free hard disk space
SVGA Display

The Power Master Unit has been developed as a 32-bit Windows

™

application.

As such it should present no problems running on most configurations of Windows NT 4, Windows
2000 and Windows XP.

Several third party software packages (such as CHIRPS) are included in the Power Master Unit. Refer
to their operating instructions/authoring company's to determine their levels of Windows compatibility.

The performance and operation of the Power Master Unit Software will inevitably depend on the way
Windows has been set up on a given PC. There are a number of limitations when using a “single user”
application in a fully networked environment and where the operating system controls the interaction
between an application and the resources of the computer. Wherever possible it is recommended that
the Power Master Unit machine is set to single application/single user mode with all local permissions,
etc. set.

Operating recommendation

It is recommended that the Master Unit is operated using a mouse.
Portable computers should use an external mouse fitted to the mouse port.

The Power Master Unit can be operated from the keyboard if required.

Installing the Software

Before beginning installation, make sure all other programs are closed.

If upgrading the Master Unit to a later version,

ALWAYS make a back up of the database

prior to

beginning the upgrade.

The installation can be halted by clicking on the "Cancel" button on the bottom right of the screen.

To install the software, follow the instructions below:

InstallShield

Click on the Install Software hypertext link in the
Read Me. The InstallShield Wizard will run.

After a short time the screen opposite is displayed.
If the Power Master Unit is not already on your PC a
prompt will be displayed to continue.
Click Upgrade Power Master Unit, Next to continue.
