- IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- ----------------------
-
- Enclosed is a Demonstration Version of "The Circuit Board Thermometer".
-
- To Install, you must have Microsoft Windows 3.0 installed on your computer.
- 2 MB of free disk space is required on your hard disk. To Find out how much
- free memory you have, use File Manager, which is located in Program Manager.
- The amount of free disk space decreases when Windows is loaded, so you can't
- accurately check from DOS.
-
- Because this is a Demo, the amount of components allowed on a board is 5.
- Everything else is the same as the full version.
-
- To install the program, you must be in Windows.
- Go into Program Manager and select File->Run from the menu.
- Type <Current Drive>:\Setup e.g. a:\Setup and press OK
-
-
- ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
- --------------------
-
- The installation may take a couple of minutes to get started; this is because
- the installation program is copied to your hard disk before it is executed.
- It performs better this way, trust us.
-
- This program (like Windows) is tailored to operate on higher performance
- PC's (e.g. 386 or 486). The complexity of the anlaysis is limited to how much
- memory can be successfully allocated. If your machine doesn't have a lot
- of RAM you may not be able to run an analysis for a lot of layers and/or
- a lot of nodes. Usually what happens if you try an overwhelming analysis is
- memory starts spooling to your hard drive and then a messagebox will inform
- you that there isn't enough memory and you should reduce the number of nodes.
-
- The formula below will tell you approx. how much free memory is needed:
-
- ( (# of layers) * (# of X Cells+2) * (# of Y Cells +2) * 4 * 10) + 300,000 Bytes
-
- Similarly, if your PC is slow (not many MIPS), some analyses may seem to take
- a long time (but, then again, if your PC is slow you're probably used to this).
- If you have a reasonable PC, e.g. a 20 MHz 386, the solution converges fairly
- quickly.
-

- version or if you just have some comments. Call, write or FAX:
