Setup and Communication
Before you operate a tool, workcell, or program a path, it is necessary to understand the
workcell and the software.
Operator Skills
The operator must have basic computer skills and be familiar with the Windows® 7 (or
Windows® 10) operating system.
Install PathMaster®
NOTE: Make sure that the Windows® User Account Control (UAC) is disabled and the user
account has Administrator rights before you install PathMaster®.

Software Startup
If you receive a warning at startup, please contact PVA. It is possible that the main program
needs to be updated. If you select “OK” and continue to use the software, some of the
features may not work.

Upgrade Procedure
PathMaster upgrades are available free of charge, however, to upgrade the software,
hardware upgrades may be necessary. For a successful upgrade, you must have the
requirements shown in Section 1.5. Also, it may be necessary for workcells with some
custom options to have additional edits to work correctly. Please contact PVA’s Customer
Service Department for information on upgrading your PathMaster software.
Multi-Machine Support
In PathMaster® version 4.3, multi machine support has been deprecated, but backward
compatibility is maintained.
When a database is imported in PathMaster® 4.3, the database is checked to see if it is pre-4.2.
If the database is pre-4.2, PathMaster® checks to see if the database has multiple machines in
it. If there are multiple machines in the database, the database will be split into multiple
databases (.bck files) with the data for a single machine in a single database. The new database
filenames will be the machine name (<MachineName>.bck) and are stored in the
\PathMaster\DB\Machines folder. When the database split is complete, PathMaster® will load
the database with the same machine name as the last loaded database. If that machine name
was not present in the multi-machine database, PathMaster® will load the default machine
(Default.bck). Every database has a default machine. Any of the new database files (single
machine databases) can be loaded at any time. Use the machine name to access data from
each machine in the old database.
