2. Identify the type of dongle (see Figure 2.6) supplied with your
TRACECUT system for future reference; this can be determined from
the dongle’s serial number. Refer to the TRACECUT on-line help for
further information.
3. Connect the dongle to the parallel port of your PC; refer to the
packaging containing your TRACECUT software for further
information.
Installing the TRACECUT software on your PC
For instructions on how to install the TRACECUT software onto your PC, refer
to the packaging containing your TRACECUT software.
Downloading TRACECUT 23a service pack 1
The TRACECUT 23a service pack 1 enables TRACECUT version 23a to use
the Renishaw CC5 probe interface card. To install the service pack onto your
PC, carry out the following:
1. Access the Renishaw website at www.renishaw.com and download the
file named tr23a_sp1.exe (self-extracting zip file) to your local hard
drive.
2. Start Windows Explorer, or open a command prompt window, and go
to the drive and directory containing the file tr23a_sp1.exe.
3. Double-click on tr23a_sp1, or type ‘tr23a_sp1’ and press Enter.
4. Run Setup.exe file.
Note that the first time the PC is switched on after installing the CC5 probe
interface card, Windows 95, 98, ME and 2000 will request a driver. This driver
can be found within the location above. Windows NT will use the driver that is
installed when the service pack is installed. Note also that Windows 2000
requires that the ‘plug and play operating system’ setting in the Bios be set to
‘No’.
TRACECUT version 23a only supports I/O ports 200, 210, 300 and 310
(Hexadecimal). In order to support the CC5 probe interface card, the drivers
will simulate devices within this range (the actual addresses used being
assigned by the ‘plug and play operating system’). As a result, the CC1 probe
device will appear to be at address 300 and the CC4 or SC3 scales device at
310. These addresses will be displayed by the diagnostics program and must
therefore be entered within the ‘RENSCAN 200 Specific Parameters’ section
of the TRACECUT software.
