This describes the general procedures for software you can use with MODELA.
For detailed descriptions, take a look at the help screens for the respective software.
* The explanations in this section describe operation of the MDX-20. If you're using the MDX-15, then where "MDX-20" ap-
pears in the text, read "MDX- 15" instead.
Driver for Windows 95/98/Me
This section explains how to make the settings for the engraving parameters.
When sending data from Dr. Engrave or a commercially available drawing program, the driver sets engraving parameters such
as the tool’s operating speed, depth, and pitch. When sending data from MODELA Player or 3D Engrave to MODELA, the data
is sent to the driver’s output port. At this time, all driver settings other than the port are ignored, and do not affect cutting.
