Installation of the Altronic Terminal program requires “Administrative Privilege”.
Once Setup_DE-3000-Vxx.exe has been downloaded from the Altronic Website,
run the file as Administrator. For Windows XP, right click on the Setup_DE-3000-
Vxx.exe file, select “Run As...”, select the Administrator account and provide the
password. For Windows 7, 8, and 10, right click on the Setup_DE-3000-Vxx.exe
file, select “Run As Administrator” to start the installation.
The default folder is C:\Altronic LLC\Altronic DE-3000 Terminal Program Vx.x.
Reboot the system after the installation is complete. Run the Program from the
Start Button, All Programs, Altronic LLC, DE-3000, and select the DE-3000
menu selection.
30.3 PROGRAM OPERATION
Most menu options are also available from the graphic toolbar.
When the program first runs, you must input a user name along with the
selection of the PC serial or USB port to which the DE-3000 will connect
for programming. All screens have a status bar at the bottom that will let the
user know the current status of each operation. Version information along with
general Help can be found under the Help menu. At the login screen, if you are
not connected to the DE-3000, or the firmware date on the DE-3000 could
not be determined, you must select version 1.X or version 2.X of the terminal
program. Version 1.X corresponds to .pg6/tr6 configuration files, and version
2.X corresponds to .pg7/tr7 configuration files.
IMPORTANT: Version 2.X contains features such as OEM Engine Control,
Linear/Ramp Control, Multi-Start, Cool-Down, and Lube Monitoring, which are
not compatible with DE-3000 firmware that predates 2014. Therefore, version
2.X should only be selected if you are certain that your DE-3000 system (both
the display and terminal boards) is configured with firmware from 2014 onward,
and uses the 128x64 multi-color graphics display.
