You may find it more convenient to use a dual-monitor configuration. With the secondary monitor connected to your system, you can view CVW output and Windows output simultaneously. (CVW version 3.07 does not support a serial terminal.)
If you are using a secondary monochrome monitor for your CVW display, you need a monochrome adapter card and monochrome display monitor.
To set up a secondary monitor for debugging, do the following:
1.Install a secondary monochrome adapter card in a free slot in your computer, and connect the monochrome monitor to the port in the back.
2.Set the switches for the secondary display adapter to the appropriate settings, according to the display adapter and computer manufacturers' recommendations.
To use the secondary monochrome monitor, you must specify the /2 option on the command line when you start CVW.
If your system is an IBM Personal System/2, it must be configured with an IBM 8514/a display as the primary monitor and a VGA display as the secondary monitor. To use this configuration, specify the /8 (8514/a) option on the cvw command line when you choose the Run command from the File menu in Program Manager. If your VGA display is monochrome, you must also use the /b (black-and-white) option. The 8514/a display serves as the Windows screen and the VGA display as the debugging screen.
Do not attempt to run non-Windows applications or MS-DOS Shell while running CVW with the /8 option.
By default, the debugging screen operates in 50-line mode in this configuration. If you specify the /8 option, you can optionally specify the /25 or /43 option for 25- or 43-line mode, respectively, on the VGA debugging screen.
For more information about the command-line display options for CVW, see Section 4.5.1, “Display Options.”
