ACU-SET SOFTWARE
Acu-Set software is license-based and will only run on the PC on which it is
originally installed. After the software is purchased, instructions will be emailed
from Curtis to define the download and activation procedure. Acu-Set is not
transferrable. If it is required that Acu-Set be loaded on a different computer,
a new license is required.
Connecting the Acuity to the computer
Make sure the Acuity is powered on before making the connections, then
follow these steps.
• Using the Peak USB-to-CAN dongle (Curtis p/n 17697USBCANI-01) and
mating harness (Curtis p/n 17668357):
Connect bullet connectors on Acuity to mating bullet con-
nectors on harness
Connect sub-D connector on harness to mating sub-D
connector on Peak dongle.
• Install the dongle USB driver by inserting the CD into the computer and
following the instructions.
• Copy the PCANBasic.dll file for the Peak dongle from the dongle CD to
the folder where the Acu-Set software is executable (the folder where the .exe
file is located). The process is the same for the other brands of dongle: i.e., the
driver needs to be downloaded and the .dll file must be in the same folder as
the Acu-Set executable.
• Plug the dongle’s USB connector into the USB slot on the computer.
• From within the folder in which the Acu-Set files were saved, double-click
on the Acu-Set .exe file.
