1.1 Introduction to Cyclone Launch
The Cyclone Launch application allows a developer to use simple ASCII
script files to control Cyclone operations from the PC. Once the script files are
configured, a simple batch file can be created to initiate programming operations
on multiple Cyclone units. Cyclone Launch also supports features such as stand-
alone image maintenance and dynamic data programming, thus providing a
powerful, yet easy to use interface. Cyclone Launch is ideal for getting your
automated production environment up and running in a very short amount of
time.
