Installation directory
-----------------------------------------------------
After you have finished setup steps,
by default, BC-Set V0.12 installs into the 
directory:
            
      \BC-Set V0.12\

Uninstalling program

open the Control Panel folder and double-click 
the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select BC-Set V0.12 
from the list, click the Add/Remove button, and 
follow the instructions that appear on the screen.


Data drop-outs over RS-232
-----------------------------------------------------
Sometimes data-drops out may occur over RS-232 resulting 
in missing readings or writings. The frequency of drop-outs 
will vary based on the hardware configuration. When you get 
abnormal reading or writing results, please click Read 
Button or Write Button on the tool bar again.


How to use the program
-----------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: Be sure to plug a temperature 
           controller when you use BC-Set V0.12, or
           receive an error message.

IMPORTANT: Before you configure BTC-9300 or BTC-2500 whose
           board revision is E or earlier, ensure that 
           communication-related parameters are set as same as 
           followings:

           COMM: 232
           PROT: rtu
           Addr: 1
           BAUD: 9.6
           DATA: 8bit
           PARI: Even
           STOP: 1bit

           If these parameters are not matched with these 
           values, BC-Set V0.12 can't work normally.

IMPORTANT: Software version 44 or earlier version of BTC-4300/8300/9300/2500,
           the parameter ADDR, COMM have to be set 1 and 232/485 respectively 
           or BC-Set V0.12 will act abnormally. If ADDR is alrealy set at 1, 
           those communication-related parameters: COMM, PROT, ADDR, BAUD,
           DATA, PARI, and STOP are Read-Only.   
           
IMPORTANT:
          Software version 46 or later version of BTC-4300/8300/9300/2500, 
          communication-related parameters COMM, PROT, ADDR, BAUD, PARI, STOP, 
          can be edited.
           
-- Be sure there is a working COM PORT with your PC, or the program 
   couldn't work.(You can choose one COM PORT to work with BC-Set V0.12)

-- Connect RS-232 Interface Cable to COM PORT
   and plug SNA12A and programming cable(CC91-1/2/3) with a temperature 
   controller.

-- Click the start icon to enter BC-Set V0.12

-- BC-Set V0.12 will automatically detect the model 
   of the plugged temperature controller and recieve 
   values of all parameters.

-- BC-Set V0.12 can Read and Write all parameters of a
   temperature controller and allow users to save/open 
   configuration data files. 

-- If you connect with no controllers, you can open files, 
   edit *.set file then save these files.
   
-- You can change displayed model No. by Clicking the 
   Alter Displayed Model No. button on the tool bar.
   After you click the button, there are some default 
   values (Original model No.) in products 
   model table. You can change those values to fit your 
   own needs.

-- Directly click one of any rows in VALUE columns to edit
   writable values, then click the Write Data button 
   to write all alltered data into the controller. 

-- Click the Read Data button to read all data from the 
   controller.

-- You can click the Print button to print out all parameters.
   (Note: You have to set the resolution of printers at 300 x 300 pixels, or 
          the scale of printings will be small.)

-- When you want to process another temperature controller,
   plug another controller to programming cable (CC91-1/2/3) 
   and click ReadData, WriteData, or Start button to 
   fetch new information of another controller.
   (You don't neccessarily to restart the program.)
   

-- You can open default-value files in the directory:
   
        \BC-Set V0.12\
        (depend on your setup directory)
   You can set all parameters of controller to default 
   values by these read-only files. 


DEFAULT PARAMETER SETUP FILES
-------------------------------------------------------
You can setup all parameters of controllers to 
their initial values rapidly by opening default-setup
files. These files are located at which the same
as your software setup directory. If you follow
the default setup directory, they are at:
    
     \BC-Set V0.12\

Note: These default files are clustered as two 
groups by different post name- oC and oF. 
You can choose if you want to setup in oC(Celsius Scale)
or oF(Fahrenheit Scale).
    

CHANGE COM PORT
--------------------------------------------------------
You can change COM Port by editing the COM.ini file.
You can choose COM1 to COM9 by put the number 1 to 9 
respectively into the COM.ini file. For example, 1 is 
COM1, 2 is COM2...9 is COM9.
