Coplan for Libra Installation Procedure for Windows 95 and Windows NT

• Before starting "coplan2320s_pc.exe" from the Coplan Software Package (Download or CD-ROM) make a backup of the original HP simulator "libra.exe":

  cd EESOF_DIR/bin copy libra.exe libra_orig.exe

• Start "coplan2320s_pc.exe".
  When asked by "coplan2320s_pc.exe" make sure, that the installation directory of the Coplanar Library is the same as the directory of the SeriesIV (defined in the variable EESOF_DIR).
• After a successful installation some system settings have to be made or modified:
  So call the SeriesIV Configuration Editor "wcfgedit.exe".
  ( Can either be found in the SeriesIV program group or in SeriesIV "bin"-directory )
• The SeriesIV variables "CIRCUIT_SIMULATOR_BIN" and "SIMULATOR_AEL" must now be modified using this SeriesIV Configuration Editor:

  Select menu "Tools -> Registry Editor ...", Below "Configuration" select "Registry" Below "Subkey" select "simframe_libra"   Below "Value" select "CIRCUIT_SIMULATOR_BIN" Below "Data:" instead of "libra.exe" enter: -> "libra65_coplan2320.exe" for Libra version 6.5 -> "libra66_coplan2320.exe" for Libra version 6.6 Click on "Apply" !   Below "Value" select "SIMULATOR_AEL" Below "Data:" append ";c_itemlib", -> New entry may look like: "libra;c_itemlib" Click on "Apply" !

  This settings causes the SeriesIV to call COPLAN library files in the startup phase.

• Exit SeriesIV Configuration Editor
• The system variables EESOF_DIR and LM_LICENSE_FILE have to be equal to the Libra environment (defined by the SeriesIV Configurations Editor). Add the system variable COPLAN_TABLE_PATH as follows and make sure, that TEMP is defined:
  

  Windows 95 "autoexec.bat" -- Check or add entries :

  SET EESOF_DIR=C:\SeriesIV SET LM_LICENSE_FILE=C:\SeriesIV\licenses\license.dat SET COPLAN_TABLE_PATH=C:\Users SET TEMP=C:\TEMP

  Windows NT configuration -- Check or add the same entries like on Windows 95:

  Select: "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Control Panel" -> "System" -> "Environment"

  Restart Windows !

• Add the code lines delivered by the IMST to the file "license.dat" defined in LM_LICENSE_FILE (see previous step)
