- DataScope Version 1.4x
- ----------------------
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- DataScope is a powerful serial communications analyzer
- designed as a high performance tool for software and
- hardware professionals. Now you can eliminate guesswork
- about asynchronous transmissions, connections, character
- timing, and serial events without purchasing an expensive
- hardware monitor.
-
- DataScope requires minimal setup. You can run the program
- immediately, but be sure to print MANUAL.TXT and read the
- basic setup chapters to identify the proper parameters for
- your monitoring environment. Any of the files with .TXT or
- .DOC extensions can be printed with the DOS "print" command.
- For example, to print the manual, type PRINT MANUAL.TXT at
- the DOS prompt.
-
- Once you experience the user interface, you may wish to
- build a monitoring cable to capture bidirectional
- conversations and experiment with the more advanced features
- of DataScope. Print CABLE.DOC for the diagram and pinout of
- an easy to build, basic monitoring cable.
-
-
-
- LIST OF FILES
- -------------
-
- Two types of files are present in the shareware product version:
- Files that are necessary for DataScope operation, and shareware
- documentation files. Both groups are listed below for reference.
- All files in both groups should be present on the disk or in the
- compressed file, depending upon how you received DataScope.
-
-
- Operational Files
- -----------------
-
- PALS.EXE DataScope executable file.
- PALS.CFG Default configuration kernel file.
- EBCDIC.CFG Alternate EBCDIC character translations.
- COLORS.CFG Demonstration character attribute colors.
- PALS.HLP On-line, context sensitive help file.
-
- SEQUENCE.BIN Demonstration archive file.
- SEQUENCE.DAT Demonstration interactive transmission
- file.
-
-
- Documentation Files
- -------------------
-
- MANUAL.TXT Shareware manual text file.
- CABLE.DOC Shareware cable description file.
- ORDERFRM.DOC Registered version order form.
- README.TXT This file (contains the most recent
- DataScope product information).
-
-
-
- The Shareware Concept
- ---------------------
-
- DataScope is distributed on a Shareware basis. You may use
- DataScope without charge for the purposes of evaluating it's
- usefulness and suitability to task. If you find DataScope
- worthwhile, then you should order a registered version of the
- program. Registered copies of the program do not require a logon
- procedure, allow complete access to all program functions
- without registration reminders and come with a detailed 130 page
- user's manual, monitor cables and two serial connectors. An
- order form is already prepared in ORDERFRM.DOC - simply print
- this file, supply the necessary information and mail it in to us
- with your payment. An invoice will be shipped automatically with
- your order.
-
- DataScope will soon have a protocol analysis language as well as
- additional capabilities and enhancements, and as a registered
- user you will be entitled to low cost upgrades to the newest
- versions as soon as they are released. Most importantly however,
- by registering your copy of DataScope (or any Shareware
- product), you'll ensure the survival of the convenient and risk
- free distribution method that originally brought you DataScope.
-
- If you have paid a small fee to a Users' Group, "Software
- Library" or "SIG" to receive this copy, you have NOT acquired
- the registered rights or continued right to use DataScope. This
- fee was for the convenience of obtaining the DataScope diskette,
- and cannot be applied toward the purchase of a registered copy.
-
- You may freely copy DataScope for distribution under the
- Shareware concept, without charge. You may not reverse engineer,
- decompile, or disassemble the software. You may not rent or
- lease the software to other persons. You may not charge any fee
- for the DataScope program or documentation without our express
- written approval. Similarly, you may not distribute DataScope or
- it's documentation in connection with any commercial venture,
- product, publication or service without our express written
- approval.
