Om de virtuele pendent software te kunnen gebruiken moet deze geregistreerd worden. In het balkje helemaal bovenaan het pendent venster rechts klikken op het “?”, en daarna op de menukeuze “register”.

Als het venster dat je te zien krijgt vergelijkbaar is met de afbeelding links, dan is er iets fout met de ethernet verbinding, of met de ethernet kabel, of de X-300 hoofdschakelaar staat niet aan.

Als de ethernet verbinding tussen je pc en de Cyborg X-300 correct werkt en de Cyborg X-300 hoofdschakelaar staat aan, dan wordt dit registratie venster getoond Het mac adres van de machine wordt afgebeeld in het “customer number” veld. Dit is een unieke code die verbonden is met de cnc controller van de X-300. Op de USB memory stick die met de machine meegeleverd werd vind je de vrijstellingscode die je moet intikken in het “Registration Code” veld. Links zie je een voorbeeld van zo’n venster met een correcte code: als je registratiecode correct is, zal de virtuele software ze aanvaarden en het product vrijgeven.

After having installed and registered the Cyborg pendent software, this new icon will appear on your desktop.
Double click on the icon and the virtual Cyborg keypad will be opened. Position it on the right hand side of your computer screen so that it fills the complete display height.
Over the virtual pendent you will see a little window in which the following message is displayed: “I have read and understood the Operator’s Manual”.

You will have to click the OK button to be able to work with the virtual pendent. This message is important! By clicking OK you testify that you have actually read and that you have completely understood the contents of this manual. Hence, if you have not read, or if you have not fully understood this entire manual, you should not click this OK button. If you have read and understood this manual, click the OK button. After having done so, the window with the warning message disappears.

Before you can actually use the machine to engrave you will have to home it. In other words the machine has to find its limits and position itself over the top left corner of the engraving table. That is where the home position is. The home position is indicated with the coordinates (0,0). To home the machine press the (shift) and the (go home) keys one after another. If the machine’s protective cover was not closed when you try to home, the following will appear on your computer screen (see image on the left): Close the protective cover, the bitmap with the yellow arrow will disappear and you can restart the homing cycle by pushing and again. If you click OK without having closed the protective cover, the window with the image to close the lid will also disappear, but it will be displayed again when you re-try to home the machine. Hence remember that you can only home the machine with the protective cover closed.
