Software Setup
Certain essential operating parameters
of the IK 5000 must be configured prior
to using the system for the first time.
Many additional factory default
parameters can be changed later to
accommodate specific application
requirements, however, the essential
settings discussed in subsequent pages,
combined with the factory defaults
will be adequate to begin operating
standard IK 5000 systems. Please refer
to the
IK 5000 OEM Setup Guide
at
www.heidenhain.de
for details
regarding all setup parameters for the
standard IK 5000 product family.
Additional software drivers will need to
be installed for systems that utilize USB
cameras for video edge detection.
Follow the installation and setup
instructions in the order presented,
and skip steps that do not apply to
your system. Instructions will be found

The installation of the IK 5000 PC card
and associated flyouts requires only
a screwdriver and personal antistatic
protection.
Danger of electrical shock!
Never work in an open enclosure
when power is connected. Disconnect
the power cable before opening the
enclosure.
Caution
Attach antistatic protection such as a
foot strap or wristband before installing
IK 5000 hardware into your PC to
prevent damage to circuit devices.
