How do I move from this screen. Your assistance will be appreciated

I don't know. But you might register and ask at machineryanalysis.org. There are a lot of vibration professionals there. And a pretty good resource for anyone monitoring rotating equipment vibration imo.

It (DOS) appears to be looking for something on a floppy disk in drive slot A, or maybe just for a floppy disk to be IN drive A so it can record data.

Might be time to update your technology from the 1980s…

Lots of good work done and problems solved with IRD 885s.
