Software Installation

C-16

By default, the PC-DOS operating system allows only eight files to be opened concurrently. Before invoking the PICE software, for PICE system efficiency, it is recommended that you change the maximum number of files that can be opened concurrently by adding the following to the CONFIG.SYS file:

bH!t.,r s

The PICE software is divided into three parts: the host software, the probe software, and the tutorial software. The host software and tutorial software are each sent on two disks; the probe software for a particular probe is sent on one disk. Use the following directions to install the PICE software.

1. Create A New Directory. Use the PC-DOS operating system, version 3.0 or later, to make a dii-0ctory on the hard disk. Then change to that directory. For example, for a directory named ICEDIR, enter the following commands (examples assume PROMPT = $P$G):

C : / >1jI~~lrii~~i

C : / >cdlcedJr<

2. Copy Host Software. Once the directory has been created, copy the PICE host software to the directory by inserting each host software disk into drive A: and typing

C : / ICE D I R > CQPV~;*~*<I?t.(!rll>

The following files comprise the PI CE system software:

I2ICE.EXE Host base software [HOST disk]

12ICE.OVE Error files

12ICE.OVH Help files [HELP/ERROR disk]

3. Copy Probe Software. Copy the appropriate probe software to the directory. Type C : / ICE D I R

>CPPV.;*;.;:;J;"'t(!ri$>

The probe software filenames for the PICE probes are 12ICE.086 8086/8088 probe

12ICE.186 80186/80188 probe 12ICE.286 80286 probe

To copy the tutorial software, proceed to step 4. (Intel recommends that you use the on-line PICE tutorial to become acquainted with PICE commands and capabilities; however, if you do not wish to use the PICE tutorial software, skip step 4 and go to step 5.)

4. Copy Tutorial Software. There are two tutorial disks; together they contain more than 100 tutorial files. Copy all the PICE tutorial files to the directory by inserting one tutorial disk into drive A: and typing

C: / ICE D I R >c~pvj:n.;~'lice"

••

Repeat the process until all the files on the second disk have been copied.

PICETM System Installation on the IBM PC/AT and PC/XT

NOTE

When the command "12ICE" is entered, the PICE software looks for a macro file called 12ICE.MAC. When 121CE resides in the same directory as as 12ICE.EXE, commands in the macro file are used to set options for running the PICE system. The 12ICE.MAC file supplied with the tutorial causes tutorial software to be loaded with FICE software.

You may design the 12ICE.MAC file in any way to assist you; however, to use the tutorial, the 12ICE.MAC file that you use must contain the FICE commands that are provided in the 12ICE.MAC file on the tutorial disk. Then, when the 121CE command is entered, both the FICE system software and the tutorial software are loaded.

5. Invoke PICE Software. Execute the FICE software and the tutorial software (if you loaded it in step 4) from ICEDIR as follows:

C: / ICE D I R >i~jc.<e.t1t •. I">

A more general form of the FICE invocation command is the following:

[pathname]12ICE Where:

pathname is the qualification needed to reach the 121CE software. The pathname syntax for the IBM PC/AT and PC/XT is described in the Pathname section of the I'ICETM System Reference Manual.

FICE invokes the FICE software.

The 12ICE entry in the I'ICE™ System Reference Manual describes the 121CE command in detail, including invocation options.

NOTE

Do not use the & delimiter in the invocation path (i.e., do not use &

as part of a file name or directory name, and do not use & elsewhere in the invocation line). For example, because it contains the & delimiter as part of a directory name, the following invocation line is invalid:

( : /1 >ic.&airlt2ic:e

6. The screen will respond with the following messages:

7. If you did not load the tutorial software, you will see the PICE prompt (*).

The PICE software is now loaded and ready to use. If you did load the tutorial software, after approximately 5 seconds, the screen clears and displays the following question:

DO YOU WANT TO USE THE I2ICE TUTORIAL? (Y OR N) 8. Typing a "y" causes the screen to print information about the tutorial.

9. The final direction asks you to type "TUTOR".

When you have typed TUTOR < Enter>, the message "TUTORIAL FILES ARE NOW BEING LOADED" appears on the screen. While you wait for the rest of the tutorial software to load (approximately 30 seconds), turn to Chapter 2 of this manual (the 12ICE™ System User's Guide) for information about the tutorial contents.
