6 AfterBurner-2 PC Configuration Utility 

 
The AfterBurner-2 Configuration Utility is a PC application that allows for the set-up of key 
features such as onscreen display and motion detection.  
 

6.1 

Installing the PC Configuration Utility  

The PC Configuration application (Aft_II.exe) can be downloaded from the AfterBurner-2 web 
interface (via the “download local app” link) or the Ovation Systems website (see Section 7, 
page 35 ). It is a stand-alone .EXE which does not need a formal Windows installation. The 
application is connected to AfterBurner-2 via either a USB or serial (RS232) lead.  
 

USB Driver Installation: 

1.  Connect the USB cable supplied to the input marked “Config”.   
2.  Windows may ask to download new drivers. If you have an internet connection, use 

the “Yes, this time only” and then “Install the software automatically (Recommended)” 

3.  You may be asked to install a second driver. If so, go through the same procedure. 
4.  If you do not have direct Internet access the drivers are available from the Ovation 

website (see Section 7, page 35 ) which can then be transferred to the required PC 
with instructions on how to install locally. 

 

Figure 11: Installing the AfterBurner USB/ Serial Interface Driver 

 
Windows shows a “Your hardware is installed and ready to use” message when the driver 
installation is complete
