PC/ESS:
8/15/96 - Subject: Degree Day Log monthly totals.
In the Degree Day
Log, in order to have monthly totals, you must enter dates in the “Settings
and Parameters” screen of the Demand Control Program. The logs will totalize based on these
dates because degree day totals are frequently used in energy savings
calculations that correspond with the meter read dates.
8/20/96
Subject: Changing the clock in an EP/2, EP, or EC.
If you change
the time or date in an EP/2, EP, or EC (via the keypad or PC/ESS), any
temporary changes made to the today and tomorrow schedules will get
cleared, and they will be filled in with the matching day of the week. For example, if you change the EP clock
on a Monday, the today schedules will all get filled in with the normal
Monday schedule, and the tomorrow schedules will get filled in with the
normal Tuesday schedule.
8/20/96
Subject: Freeing up memory
in a PC
The automated
install program of PCESS will now check the amount of available RAM in your
computer while installing PCESS. If
it is less than 605K, you will get an on-screen message like the following:
Attention:
This computers Largest Executable Program Size = xxx
Recommended = 605 to run graphics, 590 without graphics.
For
proper program operation, you must free up more RAM (lower RAM - from the base 640 K). We recommend one or all of the
following:
1) View the file provided with PCESS named “config.sam”. This is a sample of what the first 7
lines of your “config.sys” file should look like to properly load DOS into
upper memory.
2)
If your version of DOS is 6.0 or higher, run “memmaker”. This is a memory
optimizing program supplied with DOS.
3) Contact whoever supports the PC’s in
your organization. Ask them to view
the computer set up to do whatever may be necessary to free up available
RAM.
{{ End of Message }}
This message
will not prevent you from installing PC/ESS, but will let you know that you
may have a problem.
The sample config.sys file is the
following:
device=c:\dos\himem.sys
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems /ram
dos=high
dos=umb
buffers=20
files=15
shell=c:\command.com /e:1000/p
Depending on the
number of elements in your graphic, or if you are using lots of animations,
you may need even more than 605K of available RAM.
