If you do not have an icon, go to Start, Programs, CBAS, and CBAS. The database will open in the Mode it was opened in last. If CBAS is already open, hit ESC until you get to the Main Menu. Click on System and click Close Database. Click on Database and click on the mode that you want to open.

3.From the connection screen, choose the way you would like to interface with the database – either Editor Mode, Simulator Mode, Real Mode, or Remote GW.

4.For Editor, Simulator and Real Modes, you will see a Browse for Folder dialog box. Select your database from the tree in the Browse for Folder window. The database folder must be located in the C:\CBAS folder (or, C:\CBAS2000 folder, for versions prior to 2.1.0). Click OK and the database will open in the mode you selected.

To change modes, simply close the database from the System Menu, and follow the “If CBAS is already open” directions above.
