6.5   Installing the Software

ü

Basic requirements for using the software: Windows 7/10 64-bit and Java Runtime Environment >
1.8.0.

1. Connect the stick to the PC.

2. Extract the zip file on your local drive.

3. Install the driver 

dpinst-amd64.exe

 to use the control element via USB.

4. Select the suitable driver for your system.

ð

If you have Java Runtime Version > 1.8.0, select the following file: 

Gripper_1_0_1_25

(size: approx. 5 MB (6 MB extracted))

ð

If you do not have Java Runtime Version > 1.8.0, select the file: 

OFG_Gripper_1_0_1_25_bundled

(size: approx. 80 MB (190 MB extracted))

5. Start the file 

“Gripper_1_0_1_25.exe” 

(note: The numbers of the last two digits may be higher due to

changes).

6.6   Connecting the PC and Controller

1.

 Before starting the software, connect the OFG controller to your computer using a USB cable (see acces-

sories).

2. 

Windows automatically assigns a specific COM port to the controller used. To connect the controller to

the software, you must know the correct COM port.
