DEMO WITH LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY This demo will give you an impression of the functionality of the FlukeView CombiScope software for Windows. All functionality is available, with the only exception that: - Saving to file - Copying to clipboard - Printing is either not possible or gives demo output. Note that when a file is saved with an existing filename, the program will delete the existing file and not save data to a new file. When no CombiScope is connected, the program will simulate data transfer with a CombiScope model PM3394A. In this case, the Connect button must be activated in the Instrument Connect dialog box that is displayed after starting the program. In combination with a Fluke CombiScope instrument, FlukeView is the ideal software package for documenting, archiving and analyzing your measurements. The following CombiScopes are supported: PM3394B PM3394A PM3394 PM3392A PM3392 PM3390B PM3390A PM3384B PM3384A PM3384 PM3384E PM3382A PM3382 PM3380B PM3380A PM3370B PM3370A connected to the PC via the PM8914 Serial Interface Cable.

"DUPLICATE FILE FOUND" MESSAGE DURING SETUP The setup program of FlukeView, copies the files PDQCOMM2.VBX, CMDIALOG.VBX, COMMDLG.DLL, THREED.VBX, VBCTL3D.VBX and VBRUN300.DLL to the SYSTEM directory of WINDOWS. The following message will be given when one of these files is originally present in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory: "File is already present. If FlukeView cannot be started, remove the file " When this message is shown, FlukeView does not replace the original file in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If FlukeView cannot be started, the original file is not compatible with the version supplied with FlukeView. To start FlukeView, rename the file for backup reasons and run the FlukeView Setup program again. ______________________________________________________________ 3. KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH FLUKEVIEW Please note the following problems you may encounter when using FlukeView for Windows: a. When a mouse is connected to a COM port with the same interrupt level as the COM port to which the CombiScope is connected, the connection to the CombiScope may fail. This can occur when COM1 and COM3 (or COM2 and COM4) are used, for example. To solve this problem, connect the mouse or the CombiScope to another COM port or change the interrupt level of a COM port (refer to the documentation of the PC or the serial interface card). b. During communication with the CombiScope, when you move the mouse over the border of a window or over the stop button, the following error may occur: "Communication error: Overrun error detected." Tip Select the standard VGA display from the Windows Setup to overcome this problem. c. When the mouse is positioned above a button on the toolbar, the statusbar displays a text that describes the button. If the mouse is quickly moved away, the text may not disappear. d. When resizing a window results in large text characters, disable the Windows setting "True Type Fonts Only". For Windows 3.1, start the Control Panel program and select Fonts, True Type... and disable "Show Only True Type Fonts in Applications". For Windows 95, select My Computer, Control Panel, Fonts, View - Options, True Type, and disable "Show only True Type fonts in the programs on my computer". For Windows NT, select My Computer, Control Panel, Fonts, View - Options, True Type Fonts, and disable "Show only True Type fonts in the programs on my computer". e. When the CombiScope is in the Single Trigger mode and no waveform has been acquired yet, the error message "Timeout" is given. ______________________________________________________________ End of the README.TXT file.
