ANLCMMON
                                 Version 1.01

INTRODUCTION:

   ANLCMMON is an updated version of the CMonitor program from Phillips for
   control of CM microscopes. To run the program type ANLCMMON at the DOS
   prompt. The microscope device driver RCM.SYS must have been installed at
   bootup.  The program should run on any IBM PC or compatible. Context
   sensitive help is usually available using the F1 key.  The up and down
   arrows are used for selection with 'Enter' selecting the hilighted choice.
   If a mouse is installed, you can use it to operate the menus. Moving the
   mouse up and down will move the selection bar. The left mouse button
   emulates the 'Enter' key and the right mousebutton the 'Esc' key. You can
   run FAKECMON on a computer not connected to the microscope to see what the
   program is like.

NEW IN THIS PROGRAM:

(1)  The new menuing system is a result of using a toolkit from Technojock
     Software Inc., P.O. Box 820927, Huston, Texas 77282-0827. If you wish to
     make changes and recompile, you may need TurboJock's Turbo ToolKit from
     this company.

(2)  You can now store all of the settings at once rather than doing three
     different saves for alignment, stigmator and mode.  The settings will
     still be stored in three seperate files but you won't have to save them
     individually.

(3) Files now have the suffix 'ALG', 'STG' and 'MOD' and 'LOG' rather than
    'RCM' to indicate what is in them.  You will have to rename your old 'RCM'
    files accordingly. You can tell what type of file it is by the length of
    the file: Alignment files are 5024 bytes long; Stigmator files are 1524
    bytes long; Mode file are 268 bytes long; Log files are some other length.
    Use rename from the DOS prompt to change the names. e.g. to rename a 5024
    byte long alignment file use 'RENAME MYFILE.RCM MYFILE.ALG'. The files
    resulting from saving everything have the suffix 'ALL'. The last two
    letters in the filename proper will be 'AL','ST' or 'MO' to distinguish
    them from each other. e.g. 'MYFILEST.ALL' is the stigmator file of the set
    'MYFILEXX.ALL'. You can use any of the '.ALL' files to load all three. Note
    that the 1524 byte stigmator files contain all the stigmator settings,
    (condensor,objective & diffraction), but you can recall them individually
    under the recall settings option of the main menu.

(4) The directory listing is more elaborate.  Press F1 while it is showing to
    see your various options.

(5) You can now choose baud rate and check if the program is communicating with
    the microscope from the communications menu.

(6) Selection of 'microscope parameters' gives a readout of various microscope
    currents and vacuums.  The screen will be updated when the spacebar is
    pressed or every time a set number of seconds counts down to zero.

(7) You can use 'Blank the Screen' to darken the screen if the brightness is
    troublesome.

FILES ON THIS DISK:

  README.TXT  -  this file.
  ANLCMMON.EXE - the only file you need to monitor the microscope, (assuming
                 that the microscope driver is installed).
  FAKECMON.EXE - same as previous but modified so you don't need the microscope
                    to run it. Use it to see what the program is like.
  ANLCMMON.PAS,FAKECMON.PAS -  Pascal source code if you want to modify the
                               above files.
  ???TTT5.TPU Files - TechnoJock Turbo ToolKit Units. These have been compiled
                      under Turbo Pascal version 5.5. If you use another
                      version of Turbo Pascal, you will need the source to
                      re-compile these units.  I am not allowed to distribute
                      the source.  The address was give previously.
  CM.TPU  -  I have combined the previous Include files into this unit.  It is
             used with ANLCMMON.PAS.
  FAKECM.TPU - A unit which replaces CM.TPU in FAKECMON.PAS and fakes
               operations of the microscope.
  CM.PAS,FAKECM.PAS - Source code for the above two units.
