The Profiler Maintenance Terminal (PMT) is a MS-DOS based program that
allows on-site maintenance personnel to monitor profiler status, and examine
and configure the radar's operating parameters. The program is small enough
to run from a 3.5" floppy disk, or can be loaded onto a computer's hard disk.
There are two versions of PMT software currently in
use, PMT version 5 is for profiler systems with the RASS option,
and PMT version 4 is for systems that do not have
RASS. Compressed ZIP files containing the required files for
two versions of PMT software are available for download.
About 15 profiler sites still
have the original PMT laptop computers onsite. These Zenith 8088 systems have
two 3.5" 720 kb floppy drives and no harddrive. In order to use the PMT software on one
of these systems, the PMT software will need to be installed
on a compatible floppy disk medium (i.e. 3.5" 720 kb format). Also, if
the floppy is to be used on one of the Zenith laptop computers, the floppy disk must be
configured as DOS "bootable".
