ACU-RITE 3500i

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.

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.

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.
