The IMS Terminal software is a programming/communications interface. This program was created by IMS to simplify program-
ming and upgrading the MDrive Motion Control. The IMS Terminal is also necessary to upgrade the software in your MDrive
Motion Control. These updates will be posted to the IMS website at www.imshome.com as they are made available.
To install the IMS Terminal to your hard drive, insert the IMS CD into your CD-ROM Drive. The installation front-end will
automatically open.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
