Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee.
On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as
well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software
on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of
complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period.
Ifthismeasureprovestobeimpossibleorunsuccessful,thepurchasercandemandareductioninthepu

price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided
by Barco, being a component of the system or independent service, will be deemed inv
alid provided the damage
is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross
negligence or part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods
are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if, after the trans-
fer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the
purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are at-
tributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as
well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in the this manual
must be complied with by the customer.

1.4 Troubleshooting Guide
Overview
A troubleshooting guide with the most frequently discovered problems is online available on the CD-ROM.
1.5 Updating XLite ToolSet
Wheretofindupdate
From time to time, updates or new versions of the XLite ToolSet are released in the PartnerZone on the
internet.
As a registered partner, you can download these updates.
If you are not yet a partner, you can register yourself as a new partner. For more informa
tion, surf to
h
ttp://events.barco.com and follow the link Services -> Secure Zone.
Once you have access to the Partner Zone, download the latest version of the XLite ToolSet and save it
to your local hard disk. The file is a self-extracting zip file.
How to update
1. Browse in Windows Explorer to the directory where the zip file was saved.
2. Extract the zip file in the desired directory.
3. Go to the directory in which the zip file is extracted and double click on setup.exe.
The setup file will automatically update the current version of the XLite ToolSet.
If you have already installed the update, a notice will be shown asking you if you want to uninstall the
update. Uninstalling the update will make the current installation corrupt.
You cannot uninstall an update to return to the previous version.
If you uninstall an
update, the files are removed and the XLite ToolSet will no longer work properly.
If you want to go back to an older version, re-install the original version (the one on the
CD, delivered with the digitizer), and install the updated version over it.

software. When online all commands are sent and acted on, when off-line
all commands are not sent to the system devices.
When the Status is set to ’off-line’, during

What will be executed?
Depending on the dow
nload mode the following will be executed during an autodetection:
Normal download mode (by default):
Detection of all devices
Addressing of all devices
Downloading of device p
arameters
Simple download mode:
Detection of all devices
Addressing of all devices
Status info will be given in the Log Info View field during the downloading procedure.

Wait until the status bar indicates ‘Ready’ before proceeding with further operations. Continuing with
further operations could result in the program locking due to conflicts in communication sending and re-
ceiving.
Check in the ‘Log Info View’ that detection has finished successfully, if so: continue and go to chapter
“Wall Positioning Page”, if not : check the system devices and the cabling connections between them.
Also check all device have been switched on and are in full operational mode.
Repeat the procedure once again if a rectified problem prevented
successful detection originally.
SetupoftheStartaddress
The start address can be filled out by entering with the digit keys. Default = 1.
Set up the download mode
1. Click on the + button just below Start address. (image 3-9)
The download options become available. (image 3-10)
2. Click on the desired radio button to select the download mode.
Normal
download
Default selected.
Devices will be detected, addressed and all necessary parameters will be
downloaded during an auto-detection.
Simple
download
Devices will be detected, addressed and only the basic parameters will be
downloaded from these devices. This option is faster, but may result in undefined
values for certain settings.
Practical use : hot swap of a tile. Tile can be detected and addressed. Then
tile can be first calibrated etc. and then a dow
nload parameters of all devices
can be executed.
