Using the Graphical "WATERLOG" Software
DH-21 Using the Graphical “WATERLOG” Software 4-1
4.1 Software Overview and Installation
This chapter explains the various menu screens you see when running the "WATERLOG”
software from a hard disk on a PC or laptop computer. The minimum requirements to run the
software program is a 80386 processor with 4 Megabytes of RAM and a VGA Monitor. A bus
mouse or a serial mouse on a COM port 1 greatly assists in working with this software, and using
a color VGA monitor will enhance the graphics.
The user software program WATERLOG.EXE contains menus which are used to control the
“
WATERLOG”. This guide shows a step-by-step run-through of the options. This guide does not
necessarily show a sequence of operations necessary to do everything which might be desired,
but it is a guide through each menu item to familiarize you with the capabilities of the
“WATERLOG”. Menu options can later be invoked in the order needed to satisfy your
requirements.
4.2 Invoking WATERLOG.EXE
For best performance, we recommend loading the software to a hard drive. This can be done by
typing the following: (this assumes that the hard disk is the C drive and the floppy drive is A,
change these as needed).
C:\>cd \
C:\>md WATERLOG
C:\>cd WATERLOG
C:\WATERLOG>copy a:*.* c:
To run the program, just type “WATERLOG” at the DOS prompt. If it does not run, make sure
you are in the right directory. Type:
C:\>cd \
C:\>cd WATERLOG
C:\WATERLOG>WATERLOG
If you have problems communicating with the “
WATERLOG”, type the following to get the
command line options for the software.
