-------------------


Minumum System Requirements:

800x600 Display, 1024x768 recommended
16 MB RAM
10 MB Hard Drive Space

Installation Instructions:

This document gives step-by-step instructions for first time setup of the
IDTRH Manager program.  For operation, please see the README.txt file.

Method 1 - Setup through the IDTRH Manager GUI

1)  After installing, open IDTRH Manager.exe.  The program will open,
and a single entry will appear, Pinnacle's public IDTRH.
2)  Click the Setup Button
3)  Enter the necessary values for local port numbers and UDP timeout.
The default values should be fine for most situations.
4)  If you use CADgraphics, set the channel (default is 1) and the
location of CADgraphics.  If you want a delay longer than 1 minute,
set that up as well.
5)  Click OK to save settings and return to the main window
6)  Start entering dataloggers - Click the Add Device button.
7)  In the form that appears, fill in the name of the device.  It can be
anything you want.  
8)  Select how you want to identify the device, either by IP address or by
URL.  If you have questions regarding which is which, please contact your
systems administrator.
9)  Enter either the URL or the IP address of the datalogger.  This
information can be obtained from your systems administrator.
10)  Press the "Add Device" button, and the new datalogger will be
added to the list.
11)  Select the Pinnacle datalogger and delete it.
12)  Repeat steps 6-10 for each datalogger on your network.

Method 2 - Editing the .cfg file by hand

If you wish, you can set up the IDTRH Manager by hand.  This will also
be necessary to do if the .cfg file becomes corrupted/deleted due to
improper shutdown. 
The format for the idtrh.cfg file is as follows.  Values for alarm
settings are CASE SENSITIVE:

 10000    					- local port number
 2000	   				        - UDP timeout in milliseconds.
F						- Temperature Units 
c:\program files\CADgraphics     	        - path to CADgraphics.
 1 					        - Channel for CADgraphics
 1						- Delay in minutes before sending alarm
						- blank line
Pinnacle					- name of first datalogger
24.124.24.93				        - IP address or URL, here Pinnacle
NA						- Over Temp alarm, NA means no alarm
71						- Under Temp Alarm, here 71 degress 
NA						- Over RH Alarm
63						- Under RH alarm
ON						- Contact setup, ON means On = Alarm
						- Blank Line
IDTRH						- name of second datalogger
10.10.10.10					- IP of second datalogger
....						- and so on and so on.


If there is only one datalogger in the list, there should still be one blank
line after it.


NOTES

You must always have at least one datalogger in the list.

Make a backup of your config file!  If it gets corrupted, the program will not
fuction!  We can always send you a new one, but it will be necessary to
re-configure it to match your network.

If you are having difficulty communicating with the dataloggers on your
network, or the program has errors, you might need to install Dcom95 or
Dcom98 to upgrade your computer's OCX components.
