5. USING THE ANEMOMETER WITH A PC RUNNING RCOM
5.1 PC Requirement
Minimum 286, VGA and 1Mb of RAM
Recommended 486 DX2 66MHz.
5.2 Installing RCOM
The RCOM program and its auxiliary files are stored on a single 3½” disk. They should be installed
on the hard disk in a directory named \RCOM. To install the software type the following commands
in this order. For the user settings within RCOM to be stored correctly the RCOM directory must be
in the root e.g. C:\RCOM.
MD C:\RCOM
COPY A:*.* C:\RCOM
NB This assumes that your 3½” drive is drive A: and your hard disk is drive C:. If not replace A: and
C: in the above commands with the drive letters for your 3½” and hard disk drives respectively.
5.3 Starting RCOM
To start the RCOM Program, change directory to the RCOM directory and type RCOM.
CD \RCOM
RCOM
RCOM may be followed by one or more command line options. The PC will search on its serial link
for an anemometer. When an anemometer is found the main menu is displayed.
5.3.1 Command line options
The RCOM program may be passed one or more command line parameters.
/Cn Sets the COM port to use for the anemometer. Valid settings are n = 1, 2, 3 or 4. Default is
COM1.
/CBn Serial port base address. If your PC has non-standard serial ports, it may be necessary to set the
base address of the port. Usually the PC can work this out from the COM port, so this command
should only be needed in rare circumstances. For instance, to set the base address to 2F8h use the
command line option /CB02F8.
/CInSerial port interrupt number. Sets the interrupt (IRQ) number used by the COM port. Usually
this is standard for COM1 and COM2 (IRQ4 and IRQ3 respectively). There is no generally accepted
defaults for COM3 and COM4. Therefore this command should only be necessary if you intend to
use COM3 or COM4, or if you have a non-standard COM1 or COM2.For example to instruct RCOM
to seek an anemometer on COM3 using interrupt 4 the command would be:
RCOM /C3 /CI4
