14. Copy any programs and files necessary for the operation of the LC application
to the LC disk (Drive B). These may include the following:
— Any applicable LC executable programs.
— RLCFLASH.EXE program (if desired, and if there is sufficient space on the
LC’s internal disk, Drive B).
— Any applicable configuration files.
— AUTOEXEC.BAT file (typically required in a LC application). Do not place
this file on the LC card until the application has been tested.
15. Enter the following command to save the current configuration of the LC’s
internal disk:
B:\>RLCFLASH
OR
B:\>A:\RLCFLASH
Caution
It is extremely important to run the RLCFLASH.EXE
program at this time. If this is not done, then the data on
the LC internal disk will be lost.
16. At this time, remove the wire jumper between C7 and C8 on the LC Base Unit
terminal block. This tells the LC to boot from the internal disk.
Reboot the LC by removing it from the Base Unit and then replacing it.
After initial configuration of the LC card, it is still recommended that the LC
card be operated from a floppy disk. This will avoid any potential problems with
the hard disk drive.
17. Once DOS is loaded to the RAM disk, the LC operates as an IBM-compatible
personal computer. Executable files which are copied to (or created on) the
RAM disk can be executed by entering the program name.
18. To exit the RLCEXTPC.EXE program at the external personal computer, press
Control-Break
.
For general information on the recommended LC programming approach, as well
as application notes which may be helpful in programming the LC, refer to
Section 4. For additional information on IBM-PC programming, refer to the
applicable IBM and DOS documentation.
