parameters and network parameters should not be changed

unless instructed to do so by Data I/O Customer Support. Chang-

ing parameters can cause failure and/or damage to systems or

cause improper programming.

Customer-Supplied Software

AH500 Application

Data I/O’s Automated Handler software is a Microsoft

Win-

dows

-based application for setting up and programming microchips

(devices) on PS Systems. It offers a selection of many PS System

options such as input/output configurations, labeling options, and

statistical feedback methods. The AH500 resides in the Handler Com-

puter.

For updates to AH500 Software see PS Series Firmware Download on

our Web site under the SUPPORT tab.

Laser Software

The Laser software is a Windows

-based application that allows cre-

ating parameters required for laser marking jobs as well as initiating

laser marking. In some PS models, the software resides on the Laser

Computer located in the Option Bay. In other models, the software is

in the Handler computer.

Note: The touch screen does not work while in Laser Computer

mode.

When the Laser Marking System is set up and initialized, it receives

commands from the AH500 which starts the marking sequence.

The presence of some

features are deter-

mined by the

winAH400.ini file.

For more information

about the Laser Sys-

tem, see Setting Up the

Laser Marking System on

page 2-27 and

(Optional) Creating a

Laser Marking File on

page 3-62.
