This appendix is intended for individuals who want to start using the AutoMax
Programming Executive as quickly as possible. It will be particularly useful for
those who are familiar with the Windows software and with previous versions of
the Programming Executive. Familiarity with basic concepts in the instruction
manual is assumed. This appendix presents the typical sequence of steps
followed when using the Programming Executive, but includes little of the detail
or explanatory material found in the instruction manual. This appendix also does
not describe any online functions, e.g., monitoring.
Note that this appendix does not describe how to import application tasks
created with earlier version AutoMax or DCS 5000 Programming Executives or
with the version 8.x AutoMax Software Developer (ASD).
Help screens are available for most commands. Use the F1 key to click Help to
access help for any screen where F1 is displayed.
Installing Windows and the AutoMax Programming
Executive
1. If you have not already done so, install Windows V3.1 software according to
the directions in the Windows instruction manual.
2. If you have not already done so, install a mouse. Note that although most
operations will be easier to use with a mouse, a mouse is not required.
3. Install the Programming Executive using the instructions found in the
Installation manual, J2Ć3107. Instruction for installing the
separatelyĆpurchased DPS software options can be found in the same
manual.
4. Type AUTOMAX3 to run both Windows and the AutoMax Programming
Executive software. The first screen displayed after the name and copyright
information is the System Configurator, which can be thought of as the main

menu and then select one of the following commands.
Select AutoMax to run the AutoMax configuration procedure. This will allow
you to make changes to the AutoMax Executive configuration (see
section 5.5.2).
Select Communication to make changes to the communication port and
baud rate used for online communication (see section 5.5.3).
