Installation of
Light@Night
demonstration
software:
The PC-Software
Light@Night
can be used in connection with
the
Interface LI-LPT
on every PC with a
Windows 32-Bit
operation system
.
Windows 32-bit Operating
system
Windows 95, 98, Me, NT,
2000, XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8
/ 8.1, Win 10

If you want to run the
Light@Night PC-Software together
with
a
model railway control software
(e.g.
Railware
,
WinDigipet
,
TrainController
or
iTrain
) on your PC you have to attend to
some
strict specific
requirements
, because the control
software as well as
Light@Night
PC-software need some
system resources.
In this case please find out the system requirements of your
model railway control software and attend to the specific
instruction.
In a doubtful case it could be considerable to use a second
probably older PC exclusive for
Light@Night
.
In case of a common operation of
Light@Night
PC-software
and a
model railway control software
the following PC-system
requirements are necessary:
Windows 32-bit Operating
system
Windows 2000, XP, Vista,
Win 7, Win 8 / 8.1, Win 10
CPU
Intel or AMD from 800MHz
clock frequency
Working memory
256Mbyte RAM
Interface to the Light-
Interface
Printer connection port (LPT)
Together with the
Light-Interface LI-LPT
you received a
CD-
ROM
containing
the
Light@Night
PC-demonstration
software.
This demo-software enables you to test the
Light@Night
hardware without the complete version. There is a substantial
difference to the complete software version. The light outputs of
the demo-version offers only light effects for “Glühbirne”
(incandescent lamps) and “Blinklicht” (flashing lights).
The
complete version
of the
Light@Night
PC-software for all
light effects (neon lights, gas street lamps, flashing blue lights,
light chains, traffic lights and many others) including a manual (in
German language only) is available by company
Railware
(https://railware.de)
.
For the
installation
of the demo-software please insert the
supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer:
•
The installation program will start automatically. In case
the function
“auto start”
has been set to “off” on your
PC please start the program “Execute…” at the
Windows start menu and enter the following line

Before you are switching-on the transformer for the supply of the
Light-Display
-Module you have to connect an
incandescent
lamp
or a
LED with serial resistor
to the output 2 of the
Light-
Display
.
Further information for the wiring of incandescent lamps
and light emitting diodes can be found within the operating
instruction of the Light-Display-
respectively
Light-Power

Module.
Now switch-on the transformer for the supply of the
Light-
Display
-Module and click at the menu bar on “
