New Features for DROs via Free Upgrade Download
June 1, 2020
Further enhancing digital readouts (DROs), HEIDENHAIN's ACU-RITE brand is now making available free downloadable upgrade software with new features.
"This free upgrade promises to assist all users of current model ACU-RITE digital readouts to be more productive and efficient in their manufacturing, as well as continuing its tradition of ease of use," said a company spokesperson.
ACU-RITE's current family of DROs includes models 100, 200 and 300. The new software version, titled "v1.4.0," includes several new enhancements. Highlights include:
- The letter Q has been added to the axes' names list at the request of customers using their DROs on optical comparators. Available in DRO 100/200/300.
- A Zoom Timeout time delay has been added to the Dynamic Zoom & Highlight feature so users can set the amount of time that the Zoom or character color change stays active when an axis stops moving. If the user starts moving another axis before the delay time is reached, the delay is ignored in about a half of a second. Available in DRO 200/300.
- A Send Position soft key has been added so users who want to record the Screen Displayed can send the data via a USB cable to a computer program of their choice. The computer program that HEIDENHAIN offers for free is the QC Wedge Software program on HEIDENHAIN.com. Click the Software tab and then Evaluation Electronics/QUADRA-CHEK Wedge. Available in DRO 200/300.
