Connect to Controller – If the computer and Artos machine software was started before the
machine controller, you can click this to establish communications. This is instead of
closing the software and reopening it.
Comm Status – You can click this to determine if the software is communicating with the
control. If this test fails you would have to trouble shoot the serial communications. See

BAR CODE SCANNING
PART SELECTION
The bar code scanner should be configured so that it outputs data in USB keyboard format and has a CR
suffix. This means you can scan information into any data field that accepts keyboard entry. For
companies that name the parts the same in both the Artos software and on their work orders, a bar code
scanner can be used to select the part. This is especially useful when you have large number of parts
programmed in the Artos software.
