Technical requirements

1. The minimum computer requirements to implement the Field Unit are as follows:

Computer Requirements

Processor

386 or above

RAM

4 Mb

Mouse

Recommended

Disk Operating System (DOS)

3.1 or above

Free space on hard drive

10 Mb (minimum)

Printer

2. Check your CONFIG.SYS file, to ensure that it indicates: FILES=50 and BUFFERS=40. If necessary adjust these values and reset the computer.

3. If you wish to use a mouse, verify that MOUSE.COM or a similar control has been loaded by the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If it has not been, install the manufacturer's software, or verify its existence on the hard disk and modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the proper path.

4. Verify that the time and date reported are correct, using the DOS commands DATE and TIME. This is important because the program uses this data when recording or searching for information.
