     Note: If you Open or Run instead of Save, the program will attempt to write to your floppy drive
     as described in Extraction Step 3 listed below - this is not recommended.
3.  Choose a location to save the file. You may want to create a directory called "ProtoTRAK
     Downloads" or save the file to your Desktop.
4.  After the download completes, you will have the software saved on your hard drive.
     Close the download window if it is still open.
5.  The software you have just downloaded is compressed to make it easy to download. See the

Extracting and installing the software on your ProtoTRAK
This section describes the easiest way to get the software you have downloaded from your computer
hard drive to your ProtoTRAK. The file you downloaded is a self-extracting file for use with Windows 95 or above.

1.  Place a formatted, blank floppy disk into your computer's floppy drive (Drive A).
2.  Locate the software you downloaded.
3.  Double click the file.
     This will cause the software to automatically copy the correct files to the floppy disk you put
     into Drive A.
4.  When the process is completed, your new ProtoTRAK system disk will be ready for use with a default
     calibration / configuration file.
5.  To transfer an existing calibration / configuration, follow the steps below:
     a)  Have the control booted with the original system disk,
     b)  Insert the new system disk into the floppy drive while the control is still powered on,
     c)  Run a service code 142 (DRO => SERV CODES => 142, ABS SET).  This will copy the existing
           calibration / configuration over to the new disk,
     d)  Reboot the Edge control with the new system disk.
