Using PCPSINFO.EXE
After the board has been installed in the computer the program
PCPSINFO.EXE
should be run in order to see if the board has been properly installed. This program can
display its messages in English or in German language and the date and time in
formats used in the USA, the UK, or Germany. The default language and formats used
are derived from the DOS country code at startup. If automatic language detection
does not yield the desired result, you can force a language and date/time format using
a command line parameter or by pressing a function key when the program is running.
The command syntax is shown below:
PCPSINFO [P:xxx] [C:xx] [MONO] [?]
Usage of the command line parameters is described below:
P:xxx
This parameter is only needed for clocks with ISA bus, if the I/O port base address
does not match the default I/O add ress (300 hex). If a clock with PCI bus or Micro-
channel bus is installed then the program will automatically retrieve the I/O address
from the computer's BIOS.
C:xx Country code override. The default country code to be used is derived from the COUN-
TRY=.... entry in the CONFIG.SYS file.
xx may be set to 49 (Germany, 24h clock, dd.mm.yy), 44 (U.K, 12h clock, dd/mm/yy)
or 1 (USA, 12h clock, mm-dd-yy).
MONO Force monochrome display even if color display installed. May increase the readability
on LC displays often used with laptops.
?
Displays a message how to setup port address and how to use the program. Output can
be redirected to printer ( append "
>
LPT1" to the command line) or file (append "
>
file-
name").
All the command line parameters are optional. In most cases the program is started
simply by entering
PCPSINFO . If the board can installed successfully, the screen
displays information similar to figure shown below:
