Software Installation
4. Software Installation
The Parameter Setup Software CD includes an installation program that quickly and easily loads the MINI-ARRAY configuration program into the computer.
The MINI-ARRAY configuration program requires approximately 50 MB of hard disk space. Install as follows:
1. Use the Parameter Setup Software CD included with the controller, or download (www.bannerengineering.com) per the following:
Models MAC-1, MACI-1, MACN-1, MACP-1, MACV-1: CD P/N 75877
Models MAC16N-1, MAC16P-1: CD P/N 75878
2. Insert the Software CD into the CD drive.
If the program does not auto-start, browse to your CD drive, click Setup.exe, then select START, then select
RUN.
2. The Welcome dialog box will appear. Select Next, and follow the prompts in the dialog boxes as they appear.
4. The installation program then decompresses the files. A status dialog box monitors the progress of the installation.
