*********************************************

Thank you for using our SIMCHECK II product line, which now
includes the SIMCHECK II PLUS, the SIMCHECK II LT PLUS, and 
the SIMCHECK II se PLUS. This SIMCHECK II Communications program 
works with all members of the SIMCHECK II product line.

*********************************************
INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SETUP
*********************************************

The SIMCHECK II Communications program is supported only on the 
WIN95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP 32-bit platforms.  It requires about 4 
Meg space in your hard disk. 

The installation diskette includes the standard "setup.exe" file
for automatic installation.  If you download the SIMCHECK Communications 
Program via the interenet, you will first need to extract the contents 
of the "sim2e.zip" file into a temporary directory and install the 
program using the "setup.exe" file.

Connect SIMCHECK II/IIse to your PC and activate the program. Use
the PC/Software Setup button to select an available COM port and 
to connect SIMCHECK II to that port.  Select the User Information
page of the PC/Software Setup and enter your company name and 
your e-mail. You can setup several User's Fields with your messages
and you can control the inclusion of the messages in the Test Log
and the printouts of the program.

Click the help button (or use the help menu) to review the help 
file. The "What is new" section will quickly inform you about the
new features of this new program compared to the older 16-bit
Downloader/Realtime Interface programs.  There is also an extensive 
context sensitive help windows which is invoked by pressing F1.

Follow the on-line installation instructions to verify that 
SIMCHECK is properly connected and you are ready to go.

Please make sure that your SIMCHECK has been upgraded to the latest
version (1.55 or higher).  

*********************************************
UPDATING SIMCHECK FIRMWARE VIA THE INTERNET
*********************************************

Most users can easily upgrade the SIMCHECK firmware using the automatic 
firmware download button.  More details are in the on-line help of the 
PC COMMUNICATIONS program. 
 
However, if you have been instructed by our tech support to download  
the file "sc2f_e.zip" from our FTP server, you cannot use the automatic 
download feature.  Following the Manual Download instructions (in the 
on-line help and the RAMCHECK manual) you will need to first extract 
the file "sc2f_e.bin" into your default directory (e.g. 'simcheck'). 
You can then open the "sc2f_e.bin" file with the program and use the 
send data button to manually upgrade the RAMCHECK's firmware.
