Background
The Wohler
Alarm Profile Editor
is a Windows application designed to allow the user of the Wohler Alarm products to be able
to change alarm trip thresholds.
The application targets the following operating systems: WIN 95, WIN 98, WIN 2000, WIN NT4.0 and WIN XP.
The application is distributed with product on CD-ROM, or may be downloaded from the Wohler Web site (see Factory for
details).
A Wintel architecture machine with at least 10M bytes of hard disk space and a spare COM1 port are required for this application
to be installed correctly.
Installation
The installation package is supplied as three files:
• setup.exe
• setup.1st
• wohler_alarm_profile_editor.cab
Load all three files into a temporary directory (c:\temp on most machines) then start the installation process by running setup.exe
(from Windows Explorer, double click on Setup.exe).
The application installer will take you through the process step by step. It is recommended that you accept defaults where
possible. The default installation path is
