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.
