First Time Startup
When the testing system is installed, you need to configure the Bluehill software so that it
can communicate with the hardware. When the entire system is assembled and the software
is started for the first time, a configuration wizard displays to let you make the choices that
are needed to configure the system.
1. Ensure that all cables are properly installed and securely connected.
2. Turn the power switch for the machine to the On (I) position. Ensure that the
POWER
indicator light illuminates.
3. Power on all other system components (e.g. computer and any other accessories).
4. Start the Instron Bluehill software. The first time the software runs, the configuration
wizard displays.
5. Follow the instructions in the wizard screens to:
• select the controller type and frame model
• enter the System ID (located on a label on the frame)
• enter the MAC address (located on a label adjacent to the Ethernet connector on the
controller)
• enter any additional information (e.g. service contract number)
• select any accessories that are installed
If you need to change any of these settings at a later time, when you purchase an additional
accessory for example, go to the Admin tab in Bluehill software.
