ACU-RITE 3500i 439
13.1 3500i Off-Line Software
Installation
The software is installed in the usual manner by launching the setup
program, selecting an installation destination, and choosing the
desired features to be installed. Using the default setting for a
"Complete" feature installation is highly recommended to ensure
proper functionality. On some systems, you may be required to
restart the computer after installation before the application will
display properly.
Operation
Before using the off-line software, the USB protection dongle must be
inserted into an available USB port on the computer. If no USB
protection dongle is installed, the software will work in demo mode.
In demo mode, the software will allow a certain number of usages,
after which a dongle is required. The off-line software can be started
by using either the "3500i Off-Line" shortcut created on your desktop
during installation or from the Start menu. Once the software is
running, it is operated in the same manner as the machine itself.
Similarly, it should be shut down using the same sequence of
selecting Shutdown and confirming Shutdown in the pop-up dialog. If
for some reason the software becomes unresponsive, a force quit can
be done using the "ShutDown 3500i" shortcut created on your desktop
during installation or from the Start menu. Normal shutdown
procedure should be used unless the force quit method is absolutely
required.
Programs created in the off-line software can be copied to the CNC,
and (with the correct setup) run on your machine.
Updating
It is not necessary to un-install the current installation before applying
updates. Running the new setup program will update the existing
installation to the newer version. Although your created part programs
will remain intact, it is always recommended to make a backup of your
programs and/or configurations before updating the software
installation.
