On rare occasions, however, a newer DLL or OCX will not function with older programs. It is OK to allow this updating, since older programs that also use these DLLs and OCXs should still work-in other words, they are backwards compatible. If the installation program finds an older file that must be updated, it will ask your permission to do so.
TLW TRANSMISSION LINE PROGRAM FOR WINDOWS UPDATE
Microsoft will occasionally update its DLLs and OCXs. The program uses DLLs (Dynamic Linked Libraries) and other files (such as OCX ActiveX Controls) supplied from Microsoft for Visual Basic 6, the language in which TLW was written. Possible Problems During TLW Installation You may possibly encounter warnings or problems during installation or re-installation of TLW. Afterwards, allow the computer to shut down and reboot. When the menu tree 'Select Components to Install' appears, deselect everything except for TLW. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your name and company, to choose your target directory (the default is c: AntBk20) and then Program Group. Select the ABSETUP program by clicking on it twice and then clicking OK. Click on the Browse button and then select the drive corresponding to your CD-ROM. At the lower left-hand of your Desktop, click Start, then Run.

This section describes how to re-install TLW, or install it for the first time if you opted not to install it previously. Installing TLW Normally, you would automatically install TLW when you use ABSETUP to install the other programs from the CD-ROM included with the 20th Edition of The ARRL Antenna Book. You can use this data with TLW to experiment with realistic situations and to gain familiarity with the program. Later in this document there are two tables of typical impedance data for two types of antennas. The user must be familiar with the so-called rectangular representation of complex impedance, in the form Z = R ± j X. TLW does assume that the user has some technical knowledge about transmission lines and antenna tuners. Then reboot your computer (if necessary), and exit by clicking on the OK buttons until you can exit the Control Panel folder.Ī Short History of the TLW Program TLW, short for 'Transmission Line for Windows' started out life as TL, short for just 'Transmission Line.' TL was replaced by TLA, short for 'Transmission Line Advanced.' The core algorithms in TLW have been under development, intermittently, for more than 10 years and the program has developed into a sort of 'Swiss Army Knife' for transmission lines and antenna tuners. Next, click on the Advanced button and select 'Large Fonts' in the Font Size list box. Choose either 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768 in the Screen Area list box. To set the screen size from the Windows Desktop Taskbar, select Start, then Settings, Control Panel, Display and then click on the Settings tab. These higher resolutions are best viewed with 'Large' font size. Note that a screen resolution of 800 × 600 or even better yet, 1024 × 768, will result in easier-to-read windows.

The processor should be at least a Pentium 90 MHz, with at least VGA 640 × 480 screen resolution (with 'Small' font size, so you can see the whole window), 24 MB of RAM (32 MB for Windows 2000) and a CD-ROM.

Computer Requirements The minimum requirements to run TLW (and its companion program YW, Yagi for Windows) are a PC running Windows 95 or later, including Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows 2000.

Version 2.0 now includes additional graphing capabilities described below.
