MWS 9-5 Manual
3.8 System requirements
3.8.1 System requirements (16bit-Versions)
The MWS 9-5-software needs a computer with at least 486 processor and 4MB RAM (2MB of
which must be free (XMS)).
Runs with WIN3x.
You need a free COM-Port (COM1 or COM2, with Windows-versions COM3 or COM4 as well).
If you use COM3 or COM4, please note that it is only possible to switch interrupts for COM3 and
COM4 with special interface boards! If you do not have such a board, there will be problems if you
use devices at the same time on COM2 and COM4 or COM1 and COM3, because the interfaces
use the same interrupts by default.
COM3 and COM4 are only available with the WINDOWS-version!
We recommend a mouse (MS-compatible).
If you use a computer without serial port a RS23 to USB converter, TCP/IP Converter or WLAN
modules are available to connect your weather station.
3.8.2 System requirements (32bit-Versions)
At least a computer mit Pentium1 / 200 processor and 32MB RAM.
Runs with WIN98 SE and later.
3.8.3 System Requirements for DOS-Versions
-
MS-DOS Vers. 4.0 and later
- HIMEM.SYS Driver in CONFIG.SYS
- FILES = 30 Entry in CONFIG.SYS (at least 30)
-
if possible, noEMM386.EXE; if absolutely necessary with extension call
RAM (DEVICE = EMM386.EXE RAM in CONFIG.SYS)
- Minimum 1.6MB free XMS-memory
3.8.3.1 SMARTDRIVE
If you have installed SMARTDRIVE, you must limit its memory demand by changing the respec-
tive line in AUTOEXEC.BAT:
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X... change into
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE 1500 /X...
Limitation to 1500kB is recommended with 4MB main memory; if there are 8MB and more, a
limitation to 4 MB will be sufficient.
If the memory for SMARTDRV is not limited MWS 9-5-software may abort under certain circum-
stances with the error message RAM full and the computer may crash.
