2.2.3 Installing the PC Server
Check that your PC satisfies the following hardware requirements:
PC processor
486 or better
Memory
4MB minimum
Hard disk space
3MB minimum
(Note: 3MB does not include disk space required
for storing programs or test results)
Operating system
Windows 95 or later
CD-ROM drive
x2 minimum speed
To install the Server software, follow the same basic instructions as for the
Editor. The Server is often installed on a different PC to that which will be used
for the Editor, depending on your production needs. A Server PC needs to be
permanently connected to the ATi only if you wish to store test results or use a
central program store rather than the ATi’s own memory.
Server Hardware Connections
In some applications, you may wish to position the Server PC some distance
away from the tester, which will require a cable longer than the one supplied.
The AT Series Server port connector details are shown in Chapter 8, to enable
you to make up a cable of the length you require.
To use more than one or two AT Series Testers with the same Server host PC,
an intelligent COM port expansion card will be required. The server application
supports the DIGIBOARD XE eight-channel device.
