AutoMax V3 Executive Software
We are pleased to announce the latest
release of Version 3 AutoMax
Programming Executive. Similar to
all releases since Version 3.5, the
AutoMax Executive and the
Distributed Power (DPS) options split
into separate model numbers allowing
AutoMax users to select the
appropriate DPS options for their
system. If DPS is not used in an
AutoMax system, only the primary
AutoMax V3 Executive is required.
If one or several DPS drives have
been utilized for a project, the primary
V3 AutoMax Executive plus the DPS
options are required. The DPS
options can be installed with any of
the V3 AutoMax primary software
packages - single user, runtime or
shared user executives.
significantly streamlining the update
process.
Some of the key features included in
the AutoMax V3 Executives are:
• Microsoft© Windows™ - can be
used with Windows 95/98/2000/NT
4.0
• Supports Distributed Power Systems
including A-C, D-C, and Brushless
drives in one integrated platforms.
• Supports multi-tasking of up to 32
tasks in one AutoMax Rack with the
offline Task Manager Screen
capable of up to 64 tasks.
• Repair feature now allows the user
to recover the backup databases.
• Help buttons have been added to
most dialog boxes.
Previously, with the introduction of
any new AutoMax Distributed Power
System products (seven to date), a
new release of the AutoMax
Programming Executive was
required. Any changes or
enhancements to the DPS software
required the entire executive to be
upgraded. Now, when updates and
enhancements become available,
specific options can be upgraded
without changing unaffected portions
of the AutoMax software.
Applications using a DPS product can
add or upgrade DPS software without
changing the Programming Executive
or the AutoMax operating system -
The previous model numbers for the
AutoMax Programming Executive are
available by special request. Refer to
page 2 of theis document for a listing
of the current model numbers.
Updates can be applied to the
AutoMax V3 Executive without
affecting the DPS software.
