Q: How do I get help with PDA Connect Software?

A:

A CD containing all documentation and manuals was included with the PDA Connect software shipment. Additional information can be found on the product page, PDA Connect.

Begin by reading the .PDF PDA Connect Manual found on the CD and also copy the PDA Connect.chm to the local desktop or hard drive. Begin by sending a file from the CNC back to the PDA Connect Software. Be sure to match the baud rate, and communications settings on the machine to the PDA Connect Profile.

Once a file has been sent out of the machine, send the same program back into the control. Make sure the program does not over-write the existing file or change the program number before sending it back into the control.

If errors occur, contact your machine tool builder for machine communications parameters to communicate to a PC. Most problems are related to communication parameters or file formats.

If support is needed, please contact pda@shopfloorautomations.com (Currently phone support is not offered.)
