When You Upgrade from an Original SmartPAC
When you replace an original SmartPAC with SmartPAC 2 and transfer tool setup
information, the existing tools will default to Numeric mode. If you want to switch to
Alphanumeric mode, you must perform the following procedure before you change the tool
number mode:
1. In SmartPAC 1, check to make sure that each tool has a valid, unique tool name. This will
become its alphanumeric tool number after you change tool number mode to
“Alphanumeric.”
2. If a tool does not have a tool name, go to Program mode and enter a unique name for it.
3. If more than one tool has the same name, change the duplicate name or names to unique
ones.
When you have completed these changes, you can set tool number mode to “Alphanumeric.”
