The KCAM software will be preinstalled on your laser system computer. All parameters for the KCAM
software and servo motors are saved on a USB stick in your laser tool kit. Kern has also backed up
these parameters at our facility.
Installation
The KCAM software is available online at www.kernlasers.com/pw/login.htm. If you do not have a
username and password please contact our technical support team to receive one.
Upgrades
Updates are periodically available for the KCAM software. Please give notice to the fine print on the
download page as certain upgrades may require you to do a full reinstall rather than just placing the
upgrade file into the KCAM7 folder.
To locate your current KCAM version number select the ‘Help’ tab at the top of the KCAM screen and
select ‘About KCAM7’.
