Fragen zur Bartels AutoEngineer® Installation

Die folgende Information ist im Augenblick leider nur in Englisch verfügbar. Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis.

FAQ110-001	How do I install the BAE software?
	A DOS install program is provided on the BAE CD-ROM. Simply start an MS-DOS prompt, select the appropriate drive (e.g., `E:` when installing from CD-ROM drive `E:`) and start the BAE install program from the root directory of your drive after mounting the BAE CD-ROM. On workstations, simply use the `tar` utility to install the BAE software file provided either on CD-ROM or on tape.
FAQ110-003	Is it possible to install both the DOS and Windows version of BAE on the same machine?
	No problem! Simply run the BAE install program from the BAE CD-ROM twice and use different BAE program directories for the Windows and the DOS versions of BAE (e.g., `baewin` and `baedos`, respectively). Note that you can exclude parts of the BAE software (such as the Symbol and Part Libraries, the example jobs and the User Language programs) by simply deleting the corresponding destination directories from the directory specification menu provided by the install program. I.e., you can first install the complete BAE DOS version including libraries, User Language programs and example jobs, and, at later stage, you can install only the BAE programs directory for a BAE Windows version.
FAQ110-010	How do I chose the BAE Demo software version?
	Simply select the `demo.cfg` software authorization file during installation or copy `demo.cfg` to `router.cfg` in the BAE programs directory after successfully installing the BAE software.
FAQ110-011	After having installed the Bartels AutoEngineer Software, I get a `Please check Your User Authorization` message!
	Please contact Bartels System for a Workstation specific `router.cfg` file. Please supply your `uname` serial number on HP and/or your Ethernet number on Linux systems. For the PC, please check that you have installed the hardlock device and copied `demo.cfg` to `router.cfg` in the BAE programs directory created during BAE software installation.
FAQ110-050	How do I chose a different DOS graphic device driver?
	Copy the graphic driver (`.dev`) file supporting your graphic system to `bae.dev` in the BAE programs directory created during BAE software installation.
FAQ110-100	I would like to use different drive or directory names!
	No problem, the BAE programs directory is located from the `PATH` variable, the `baelib` library directory is known from the `bsetup.dat` setup file. To modify `bsetup.dat`, create a copy of the `stdset.def` file, specify correct library paths with the `SCMDEFLIBRARY` and `LAYDEFLIBRARYM` statements in the DEF file and call the bsetup utility program to compile the new DEF file.
FAQ110-101	I cannot locate any test jobs!
	Use the AutoEngineer like a text editor or compiler. Step into the `baejobs` or any of your jobs directories, start the BAE main shell by typing > bae to the operating system prompt and call the desired BAE program module. Use the Load Element function from the File menu for loading existing design/library elements or use the New function for creating new elements. Under Windows, file dialogs are provided for more comfortable project file selection.
FAQ110-110	How do I install and/or start User Language programs?
	All standard User Language programs and source files are located in the `baeulc` directory created during BAE software installation. To compile the User Language programs (and thus make them available on function keys or by name) simply call the `cplsll.bat` batch file from the `baeulc` directory. The compiled User Language programs are stored in the `ulcprog.vdb` file of the BAE programs directory. The `ulcprog.vdb` file of the BAE software comes with the BAE User Language programs precompiled. I.e., re-compilation of the BAE User Language programs usually is not required after performing a complete/new BAE software installation.
FAQ110-200	What memory standards are supported by the PC version, is there a 640K barrier?
	As the Bartels AutoEngineer is a Protected Mode program, there is no 640K barrier. BAE uses the PharLap DOS Extender, which supports DPMI, VCPI, EMM386, XMS/HIMEM, VDISK and INT 15.
FAQ110-201	I have annoying long program load times when running the BAE software under MS-DOS 6.x!
	This problem was introduced with MS-DOS 6.0. Use the `NOVCPI` switch with the EMM386 driver to avoid this problem.
FAQ110-250	I have problems installing the TIGA graphic device driver for MS-DOS!
	Some particularities are to be considered when installing the `tiga.dev` graphic driver for operating the TMS 34010/34020 graphic processors with the TIGA (Texas Instruments Graphics Architecture) graphic standard. An interrupt parameter value smaller than 0x70 should be used for the TIGA interface or otherwise problems might occur with the Phar Lap 386\|DOS Extender used by BAE. Interrupt level 0x60 is recommended; the following command must be added to `autoexec.bat` for setting the TIGA interrupt level: SET TIGA=-i0x60 Please refer to the corresponding installation guideline of your TIGA graphic system for more details.
FAQ110-300	How do I install/connect a HP7574A pen plotter to my DOS system?
	To connect a HP7475A plotter to one of the serial ports (e.g. COM2) of your computer, the serial plotter interface must be connected to the serial port with a cable wired according to the diagram in the following figure. HP Plotter Cable Wire Diagram A MODE statement such as MODE LPT1=COM2:9600,N,8,1,P must be added to the `autoexec.bat` file to operate an HP 7475A serial plotter at COM2.
