SYSTEM SETUP
2.1 HARDWARE PLATFORMS SUPPORTED
The DataView Software will run on a variety of DOS based machines. We recommend the use of a desktop or laptop
machine with at least 3MB free disk space and a VGA monitor for displaying graphics, for most printing and report
generation functions. Other, less capable computers may be used for the actual data extraction.
2.2 INTERROGATION CABLES
Cable requirements may differ between interrogation devices. For cable connections see...

2-2 62-02575-07 2.3 PRINTER SUPPORT
Formatted reports can be generated on the following printers:
1. EPSON 85 dot matrix or compatible (most dot matrix printers will support this format)
2. HP LaserJet or equivalent (Many laser printers will support this format).
For printers that are not compatible with the above printers, select the FILE printer port option in printer setup. This
will send the report to an ASCII print file.
