Updating
Control software
The Simulator software itself typically does not need to be
updated. Only the control application is updated when new
releases are available. The same setup.zip used to update the
machine software is used to update the simulated software.
Although your created part programs will remain intact, it is
always recommended to make a backup of your programs and/or
configurations before updating the software.
Make sure the control software is not running. To update the
software, click the Install folder shortcut available from the
Windows Start menu, under All Apps and then under ACU-RITE.
This will open a folder location in a new Windows Explorer window.
Extract the setup.zip and setup.ini files obtained for the software
update directly to this folder. Keep the window open. Start the
control software which will detect that an update is available for
installation. Follow the prompts to install the software. When
the software update is complete, and prompts to remove any
removable drives used for the update, proceed to delete the
setup.zip and setup.ini files from the Install folder. If this is not
done, the control will prompt to update the software on every
subsequent startup until the files are manually deleted.

NOTICE
The part programs will be lost during this process. It is critical
to backup these programs prior to uninstalling the existing
Simulator.
When the Simulator software requires an update, a new version
will be made available (for example, v2.0.0). In order to install
a new Simulator version, the existing version must first be
fully uninstalled (see "Uninstalling", Page 192), and then the
new version installed and setup as an initial installation (see
"Installation", Page 191). The control part programs will be lost
during this process, so it is critical to backup these programs prior
to uninstalling the existing simulator.
Uninstalling
Before uninstalling the control software, reboot the Windows PC
in order to ensure a successful removal. To remove the control
software from a Windows PC, either use the Windows Control
Panel (Add/Remove Programs, or Programs and Features), or the
shortcut Uninstall TURNPWR from the Windows Start menu (in All
Programs and under ACU-RITE). When the uninstaller opens, make
sure that all checkboxes are checked so that all components are
fully removed from the system.
