3.2 Upgrading Software Version
3.2.1 Upgrading NC System Version
There are two methods for upgrading version of NC System as shown below.
Method 1: Carry out change operations on the device driver.
Method 2: Reinstall the device driver.
The method to be used depends on the changed object of the software. The followings are the typical
examples of which methods is used for what.
• When the device driver for NC Card is changed
Method 1
• When the NC System software is changed
Method 1
• When NC Card is replaced with a card of a
different model (for example HR621B, HR623C)
Method 2
• When using Windows NT/2000/XP
Method 2
The above methods are only applicable to general cases. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
attached to each version of NC System software, and README_E.TXT (English) /
README_J.TXT(Japanese).
When NC Card is replaced, it is necessary to copy the data saved in the NC Card to the new card. Be
sure to follow the directions on the instruction manual attached to the product to perform the copy
operation.
Method 1: Change NC System Device Driver
Use the [Change Driver] button on the property sheet of NC System Device Driver to change NC
System Device Driver. In this case, personal computer’s resources (memory, I/O port, and IRQ) used
by the NC Card is not changed. Therefore, setting up NC Card is not needed.
Method 2: Reinstall NC System Device Driver
Reinstall NC System Device Driver by deleting the currently used device driver once and then
installing NC System Device Driver again. In this case, personal computer’s resources (memory, I/O
port, and IRQ) used by the NC Card may be changed. Consequently, setting up NC Card is necessary
when you use ISA NC Card. For PCI NC Card, resources are set up automatically, and setting up NC
Card is not needed.
When reinstalling NC System Device Driver, set the same NC Card No. as the one used before
deletion. If a different NC Card No.is set, environment settings may be erased.
3.2.2 Upgrading Other Application Version
Version upgrade of other applications can be executed basically by overwriting the currently used
software. Be careful about using this method because information customized by the user, such as
software operational environment or execution information, may be erased.
For practical upgrading methods, refer to the instruction manual attached to each application software.
