3.2 Installation of new run time files
The 140 AxI 05x 00sc is manufactured by Spectrum Controls, Inc.
Follow the Concept installation procedure for outsourced modules. This
requires the install disk provided with your module, which includes the
following files (assuming drive A:):
A:\CONCEPT\SPECTRUM.MDC - SpectrumI/O for Quantum Module Definition file.
A:\CONCEPT\SPECTRUM.HLP - Spectrum I/O for Quantum Help file.
To update the Concept database with a new Spectrum I/O module:
1.
Insert the install disk into drive A:
2. Start the Concept Modconnect Tool (Modconf.exe).
3. Open the installation file “SPECTRUM.MDC”
4. Select the module to add or press the “Add All” button
5. Save the changes before exiting the Modconnect tool.
This will update the Concept database permanently unless you later undo
the changes using the Modconnect Tool, or perform a new Concept
software install.
