The CYBELEC ModEva’s equipped with Windows have been installed at the factory with a 
configuration especially made for the numerical control.
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the ModEva, offering 
in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This configuration also ensures 
that the drivers are correct and that the whole guarantees an optimal functioning of the 
numerical control.

As Windows is a very open system, it is advised not to modify the 

Windows installation or to install other programs. You risk disturbing 

the functioning of the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.

Remember that the ModEva is equipped with USB ports and that it is very easy or even 
tempting to install external software, utilities or games coming from the Internet or 
specialized magazines.

CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of malfunctioning of the 
numerical control if other programs have been installed or if the 
original configuration has been modified.

We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with viruses and 
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or software coming from the 
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

The Windows Operating System, like on every computer, is very 
sensitive to inappropriate shutdown. Make sure that you properly turn 
the system off (see 

Leaving the Software, page 37

), and NEVER by 

cutting the power off!
