Instructions for installation of the CruzPro PC Fishfinder or the DEMO on your system.

1) If you are running the DEMO program and do not have the hardware connected to your PC:

	a)  If you have downloaded the full version or received a CD, run the SETUP program from the CD.  If you have downloaded the short version with just the executable
	files, then copy the executable to a directory of your choice.

	b)  In DEMO mode you can only playback pre-recorded log files.  Use Windows Explorer to create a directory on your C: drive called "C:\TempIFB" and copy the
             sample demo playback data files from the SAMPLES directory into the "C:\TempIFB"  directory.

	c)   Execute the program and it will ask you which logfile you wish to playback.




2)  If you have the Interface Box and transducer connected to your system:


	a)  If you have downloaded the full version or received a CD, run the SETUP program from the CD.  If you have downloaded the short version with just the executable
	files, then copy the executable to a directory of your choice.

	b)  If you want to record and replay data to/from disk files you need to create a save directory. Use Windows Explorer to create a new directory on your C: drive called "C:\TempIFB".     To playback data in DEMO mode you must first create this directory and put the demo playback data file into this directory (See "c" below).  In non-demo mode this directory will be automatically created when you run the program.
 
	c)  Copy the sample log files from the SAMPLES directory of this CD to the "C:\TempIFB" directory using Windows Explorer.  
	Plug the PC Fishfinder into a RS232 serial port or a USB port (you can connect both if you want).   Without the PcFF80 Interface Box you can still run the program in     DEMO mode and view the pre-recorded data files.

	d)  To use the USB port with the Interface Box you must install a Virtual Com Port driver supplied on this CD.  

	e)  Read the user's manual on this CD for program installation instructions and for installing and optimizing the USB drivers.  The USB drivers are located on this CD in the directory called DRIVERS.

	f)  Be sure your display screen (video adapter) is set to 1024 x 768 mode.

	g)  If using the USB port, be sure to plug the USB connector into the PcFF Interface Box and your PC USB port before
    	connecting +12V power to the PcFF Interface Box.  Turn off the power to the Interface Box before removing the USB
	 cable.

	h)   Versions: As we add/improve features to the PcFF80 PC Fishfinder we will post the software on our website for download.
    	Please check www.cruzpro.com for updates.   While we reserve the right to charge for updates in the future, updates 
    	will be free for a period of time.

	i)  Place a 10 amp in-line fuse in series with the +12VDC power to the Interface Box.
