To install the help file under Microsoft Windows
The help file requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 3.3 or greater
running on an IBM-compatible PC. The file uses the Microsoft Windows help
viewer, WINHELP.EXE.
1
Start your PC and start Microsoft Windows.
2 Insert the 3.5" floppy disk labeled “HP 54645A/D Oscilloscopes
Programmer’s Reference/Example Programs for Windows 3.1
Applications” into the appropriate diskette drive (A: or B:) of your PC.
3 Select File | Run from the Program Manager, then type in the
following:
<drive>:\install
where <drive> is either A: or B:.
4 Follow the instructions onscreen to complete the installation.
The installer copies the help file to a directory named \hp54645. You can
choose a different directory if desired. It also creates a Program Manager
group and icon that you can use to open the help file with the Microsoft
Windows help viewer.
To use the help text and example program files
The help file is available as an ASCII text file that can be browsed with a text
editor or text search tools. Also, there are sample programs (in ASCII text
format) that show how to use the HP 54645 commands with the oscilloscope.
• Copy the help file text or sample programs from the diskette labeled
“HP 54645 Oscilloscopes Programmer’s Reference/Example
Programs for Non-Windows Applications” to your system for viewing.
See the file README.TXT on the diskette for more information about the
diskette contents.
