PCBCheck 1.0 QuickSetup
Jim Dahl
One of the design goals of PCBCheck was ease-of-setup (as mentioned in
length in the full documentation). Therefore, I will devote little time
to explanations, histories, or technical workings in this document, rather
this document will provide a true 'quick setup' for PCBCheck. This
document makes assumptions that the reader is familiar with the basic
functions of upload checkers, so it does not include in-depth descriptions
of functions and their purposes, rather the full documentation provides
that information.
1. Installation
Make a directory (I recommend as close to the root directory as possible as
DOS imposes limitations on command lengths, and some of the archiving and
dearchiving commands PCBCheck issues can get pretty long, particularly with
long path names) and put all the PCBCheck files in it.
PCBCHECK.EXE
SETUP.EXE
*.PCC
HACK*.IDX
PCBCHECK.SCR
KEYWORDS.PCB
Note, PCBCheck should have its own directory!
2. Batch File
PCBTEST.BAT is the batch file PCBoard calls when it wants uploads checked,
it is usually located in your \PCB directory. Setting it up for PCBCheck is,
again, very simple:
@ECHO OFF
D:\PCBCHECK\PCBCHECK.EXE %1 %2 %3 [port]
Of course you replace D:\PCBCHECK with the actual path to PCBCHECK.EXE. The
parameters are fairly simple, it uses them in the same order PCBoard 15.0
delivers them! It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not change directories in
the batch file, rather call PCBCheck with a path, as illustrated above.
The optional parameter [port], only for special cases, is explained in the
documentation.
3. SETUP program
The only thing left is to run the SETUP program. It is fairly self-
explanatory, though a few items need further explanation. That explanation
can either be obtained by reading the documentation, or by hitting F1 from
any field (for specific help on that field). An example is the
Maximum Age of Uploads field. You would not know, unless you looked at
the help screen or read the full documentation, that it wants the age in
months, and that 0 disables age checking, etc... The on-line help should
get you through a quick setup.
Note- certain functions, such as keyword checking, may require you to edit
a keyword list file, etc... These are optional features, though, nothing
else is required for minimum operation.
That's it (in just one page)!
