RUCOSMIC.EXE info
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rucosmic.exe  -- updated Sept 30, 2007 to correct some instability discovered
		 at the workshop on Sept 29.
		 updated Oct 11, 2007

This program is used to communicate with the quarknet cosmic ray
detector board (USB version).  It has been tested with Win2k, WinXP,
and Vista Operating Systems.

The Quarknet board is attached to the Windows PC with a USB cable.  
The first time you connect the board, Windows will detect the CP2102 USB to
Serial Bridge used on the board.  When setup, this device will create a new
COM port on the PC.

A copy of the CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port driver installation
program, downloaded from 
http://www.silabs.com/tgwWebApp/public/web_content/products/Microcontrollers/USB/en/mcu_vcp.htm
is in the CP2102driver directory.

If your version of windows cannot set up the virtual com port, you can try
to install the driver above.

After installation, open CONTROL PANEL | SYSTEM | HARDWARE MANAGER | PORTS
to see if a new COM port is listed.

The RUCOSMIC program defaults to COM4:.  If you need to change this for your
system, create a file called "rucosmicparams.ini" on your desktop and
place a line similar to the following there:

set COMDEVICE "COM8:"


When rucosmic is run it may create a file called "persist.dat" on the desktop.
This file is used to maintain the threshold values for each channel between
each running of rucosmic.  If the file is deleted, the sliders will be at
their default locations the next time the program is started.

This is a very preliminary release of the rucosmic program.
