Thank you for using our RAMCHECK memory tester.

*********************************************
INSTALLATION OF THE PC COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
*********************************************

The RAMCHECK Communications program is supported only on the 
WIN95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP 32-bit platforms.  It requires about 5 MB of 
space on your hard disk. 

If you download the RAMCHECK Communications Program via the Internet, 
you will first need to extract the contents of the "ramcheck.zip" file 
into a temporary directory and install the program using the 
"setup.exe" file.

The installation CD includes the standard "setup.exe" file
for automatic installation.  

An in-depth manual is available in the CD Companion in PDF format. 
In order to view this file, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. 
Acrobat Reader is available as a free download from Adobe.com. A brochure 
detailing our latest products is also included in PDF format.

Connect RAMCHECK to your PC and activate the program. Use
the PC/Software Setup button to select an available COM port and 
to connect RAMCHECK to that port.  Select the User Information
tab from the PC/Software Setup and enter your company name and 
your e-mail address. You can setup several User Fields with your 
messages, and you can control the inclusion of the messages in the 
Test Log and the printouts of the program.

Click the help button (or use the help menu) to review the on-line help 
file. There are also extensive context-sensitive help windows which 
are invoked by pressing F1.

Follow the on-line installation instructions to verify that 
RAMCHECK is properly connected and you are ready to go...


**********************************************************
UPDATING RAMCHECK FIRMWARE VIA THE INTERNET
**********************************************************
You must register on our web site (www.innoventions.com/ftp.htm) in order 
to obtain the free firmware upgrades. Registering is quick and easy.

Most users can easily upgrade the RAMCHECK firmware using the 
automatic firmware download button. More details are in the 
on-line help section of the PC COMMUNICATIONS program. 
 
However, if you have been instructed by our tech support to 
download the file "rcf_e.zip" from our FTP server, you cannot 
use the automatic download feature.  Following the Manual 
Download instructions (in the on-line help and the RAMCHECK 
manual), you will need to first extract the file "rcf_e.bin" 
into your default directory (e.g. 'ramcheck'). You can then open 
the "rcf_e.bin" file with the program and use the send data button 
to manually upgrade the RAMCHECK's firmware.
