Graphical Interface Using AdeptWindows
The Adept SmartController system includes the AdeptWindows PC software, which is a 
suite of application programs that provide new capabilities for the Adept SmartController 
and a user interface for the PC. One of these capabilities is to operate the Adept 
SmartController via a graphical user interface running over an Ethernet connection. The 
procedure for installing AdeptWindows and setting up the user interface for the Adept 
SmartController system is described in the 
AdeptWindows Installation Guide
, which is 
included in your shipment. Refer to this document for details on installing 
AdeptWindows and establishing an Ethernet connection to the Adept SmartController.
NOTE: Connect the necessary Ethernet cabling between your PC and the 
Adept SmartController prior to turning on the PC and controller. See 
NOTE: After installing the AdeptWindows software, refer to the 
AdeptWindows online help for additional information on setting up the 
user interface.
WARNING: 
Make sure that all cables are installed correctly 
and fully inserted and screwed down before applying 
power to the system. Failure to do this could cause 
unexpected robot motion. Also, a connector could be 
pulled out or dislodged unexpectedly.
