PC Controller DOS Compatibility The PC controller software for the Oncore family of GPS receivers uses a set of utility programs to handle the communications port setup and takedown. These programs store the communications port settings when the controller program is started and then restore the original communications port settings when the controller program is terminated. These utility programs only work with DOS versions 3, 4, or 5. In order for them to work properly when using DOS 6.x, the ‘SETVER’ command should be used. This is explained in this application note. 1) Add the following line to the ‘CONFIG.SYS’ file: DEVICEHIGH /L:1,12048 = C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE 2) Execute the following commands once at the DOS prompt (do not add to the ‘AUTOEXEC.BAT’ or ‘CONFIG.SYS’ files): C:\> SETVER MARKNET.EXE 4.00 C:\> SETVER RELNET.EXE 4.00 C:\> SETVER GPSCOMMS.EXE 4.00 3) Reboot the computer. The commands in step #2 add entries into the ‘SETVER’ database so that when ‘SETVER’ is loaded (in the ‘CONFIG.SYS’ file), the correct versions of DOS will be used when those programs are run.
