To make a programming disk, format a blank disk
using FORMAT B: or FORMAT B: /S (use "/S" if it
must be a bootable disk). Then copy the required pro-
gram file or files to the programming disk. To do this,
type COPY A:(filename.ext) B:(filename.ext). For
example, to copy the file 2000pgm2.exe from drive A
to drive B, type
COPY A:2000pgm2.exe B:2000pgm2.exe
This procedure works for either single or dual drive
computers. Refer to your computer reference manual
for more information on these DOS commands.
The programming software is shipped in a com-
pressed format. The name of the compressed file is
2000pgm2.exe and it extracts the following files so the
program can be used on a PC.
2000PGMR.EXE 441K
2000PGMR.HLP 40K
TESTM8L.HLP 1K
2000PGMR.LNF 150K
TESTM8H.LNF 10K
TESTM8L.LNF 160K
TESTM9H.LNF 10K
TESTM9L.LNF 161K
TESTT8L.LNF 52K
TESTT9L.LNF 51K
The 2000PGMR2.EXE file is self extracting
which means that the files extract automatically when
executed. To extract these files so the program can be
used, first make the current directory the destination
directory for these files. For example, to make it the
\RADIOPRG directory on drive C: (if not the current
directory), type C: (Return) and then CD \RADIOPRG
as just described. To make it the disk in drive B:, sim-
ply type B:. Then inset the program disk in drive A:
and type A:2000PGM2 (or B: 2000PRM2 if drive B:
is being used). The program files are automatically
extracted into the current directory or disk.
3.2.2 MINIMUM FREE MEMORY REQUIRED
Approximately 525K of free conventional mem-
ory is required to run this program (use the CHKSK or
MEM command to display the amount of free mem-
ory). If you have at least 640K of memory and not
enough is available, there may be other programs that
are also being loaded into conventional memory. Con-
tact Customer Service for information on how these
programs can be moved or disabled to make more
space available.
3.3 REPEATER PROGRAMMER
When the program is loaded into the computer
and executed, the menu shows the files available from
the directory. The program is used to create, edit,
transfer and receive the repeater and channel parame-
ters described in Section 5.
IMPORTANT
The commands and displays referred to in this manual
are for the IBM PC and may differ from IBM compati-
ble. Refer to the computer’s operating system manual
for command explanations.
3.3.1 PROGRAM FILES
The files in the software directory are needed to
run the program.
3.4 ALIGNMENT SOFTWARE
The software for the VIKING VX repeater pro-
grams the MPC to open and close the audio/data gates
necessary for the alignment selected from the Test-Full
Repeater menu. Under the menu heading Test are the
alignment procedures for the PA (see Sections 7.4 and
7.5), Receiver (see Section 7.2), Exciter (see Section
7.3) and overall Full Repeater (see Section 7.6) includ-
ing the MAC card (see Figure 3-1).
