Installation

➍ In the command-line box, type A:\INSTALL.EXE or B:\INSTALL.EXE.
➎ Click OK to start the EquiView installation.

A dialog box opens showing the default drive and directory where EquiView will be in­stalled. To install EquiView on a different drive or in a different directory, type a new path
name in the Install box. The installation program creates a subdirectory on your harddrive,
copies the necessary program files and creates an EquiView program window and icon.

➏ When the installation is complete, you are returned to the Windows Program Manager. To

start EquiView, open the Program Group for EquiView for Windows and double-click on the
EquiView icon. Note: It is recommended that you connect the serial port of the PC to an

Equinox ELS server before starting EquiView.

➐ Follow the instructions given by the program at start up. An on-line HELP utility is pro-

vided as part of the menus.
