5.1 Installation

For the ADSGSE program you need a PC with Windows 95/98/NT.

The ADS GSE software requires JDK (version 1.1.7A), Swing (version 1.0.3) and the Java Communication API (version 2.0) to be installed on the GSE computer. For the installation of these packages refer to the provided documentation.

The ADS GSE program itself is contained in the Java archive ADSGSE.jar. The file should be located in a separate directory together with the CDMS download program (currently CDMSIM42.BTL), furthermore this directory should contain a sub-directory called Data for storage of the data files.

The Java CLASSPATH variable has to contain the ADSGSE.jar file, so that the program can be launched with java ADSGSE (ADSGSE is the name of the program's main class).

The serial interface COM1 or COM2 should be available at the computer. The contents of the file adsgse.ini selects which serial interface is used for the communication, it is only one word COM1 or COM2. The following default communication parameters are used by the ADS GSE program: 38400 Baud, 8bit, 1 stop bit, no parity; output handshaking: RTS/CTS; input handshaking: none.

1. install JDK 1.1.7A
   execute d:\gse\jdk\jdk117A-win32.exe from the CDROM, answer all questions with the default reply (replace d: with your CDROM drive letter).
2. copy Swing and the Java Communication API (version 2.0) from the CDROM to the harddisk
   copy d:\gse\jdk\lib\*.* c:\jdk1.1.7A\lib
copy d:\gse\jdk\bin\*.* c:\jdk1.1.7A\bin
   
3. install ADSGSE
   mkdir c:\AdsGSE
mkdir c:\AdsGSE\Data
copy d:\gse\ADSGSE.jar c:\AdsGSE
copy d:\gse\cdmsim42.btl c:\AdsGSE
copy d:\gse\adsgse.ini c:\AdsGSE
   
4. edit adsgse.ini if you use COM2
5. make a link on the desktop (see d:\dosc\win95\Desktop\ADS_GSE.lnk.
6. edit c:\autoexec.bat
   insert c:\jdk1.1.7a\bin into the PATH, add line
   SET CLASSPATH=c:\jdk1.1.7a\lib\classes.zip;c:\jdk1.1.7a\lib\swingall.jar; c:\jdk1.1.7a\lib\comm.jar;c:\jdk1.1.7a\lib\sfc.jar;c:\jdk1.1.7a\lib;c:\adsgse\adsgse.jar
