UP SOFTWARE
UP is a name for control software designed for
programmers made by ASIX. The program offers many
advanced functions and enables an operator to control
the programming process either from the software
interface or remotely from the command line utilizing
Windows messages and the DLL library. The program runs
under Windows or Linux (in Wine).

tabs (cards) in a particular window.
5.2
Installation
Installation is very easy. The installation program can
either be found on the CD-ROM supplied together with the
programmer or downloaded from www.asix.net. Run the
installer (UP_xxx_EN.EXE, where xxx represents the
version number). There is no need to close other running
applications. The installation process takes only a few
seconds and requires you to press the Enter key a few
times. No modifications to the operating system take
place during installation, i.e. no computer restart is
needed and the program can be used immediately after
completion (by clicking its icon, for example). After the
first start, the program asks which language it should use
(English or Czech), which programmer to work with (e.g.
FORTE) and which port the programmer is connected to.
If needed, the program can be uninstalled using the Add/
Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel or manually
by deleting the corresponding directory and desktop
shortcut(s).
A previous program version (if it exists) does not have to
be removed before installing a newer version. Use of the
latest available version is recommended.
