Translation
Attention: this document contains cross-references, index entries, bookmarks, fields and sections for foot
lines. These indications are normally not visible and you risk to erase them.

• Do always display the masked characters .

• Use the bookmark display option in the Tools, Options, Bookmark indicators menu.
This will avoid to erase them.
To avoid the bookmark erasing, place the cursor at the beginning of the mark, type the translation
and then delete the french (or english) text.
Above all, don't select the whole bookmark and overwrite it. The bookmark would disappear.
• Don't erase the text to be translated, but go to the beginning or the end of the text (before the end of
paragraph mark ), translate by adding, then erase the original text.
Do not erase the end of paragraph mark , this would delete the cross-reference information.
• Do not delete the end of paragraph mark , this would delete the formatting.
• Begin with translating the titles, several cross-reference fields display the text of the title. So they
will already be translated when you reach them in the text, and this will avoid to erase them by
inadvertance.

INTRODUCTION

SAFETY, COPYRIGHT & LICENSE AGREEMENT

Please consult the safety instructions, copyright and license agreement on the
first pages of the manual.

MODEVA WITH WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM

The CYBELEC ModEva’s equipped with Windows have been installed at the
factory with a configuration especially made for the numerical control
(see technical information).
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the
ModEva, offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs.
This configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole
guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical control.
As Windows is a very open system, it is advised not to modify the Windows
installation or to install other programs. You risk disturbing the functioning
of the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.
Remember that the ModEva is equipped with USB ports and that it is very
easy or even tempting to install external software, utilities or games coming
from specialized magazines.
CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of misfunctioning of
the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if
the original configuration has been modified.
We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with viruses
and utmost caution is to be taken when using data or software coming from
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This User Guide treats some simple examples, in order to rapidly acquire the
programming concept.
The Reference manual furnishes supplementary information to this
document.

Remark: In this manual, it is assumed that the ModEva has an

operational configuration (i.e. machine parameters and tools
are programmed).
This manual describes the software version U3 or higher.
Some represented figures can possibly not correspond with
previous versions.

This manual can evolve; it is you, the operators, who can contribute to help
you more. If you have any remarks concerning this manual, please write to us

TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTIONS
Arial bold Quotations of text as seen on the screen.
Arial bold italic Used to indicate the name of a DNC input or
output.
Italic Reference to a written element, a paragraph or a
manual.
For example: See Typographical Conventions.

DEFINITIONS
In this manual the following terms are used:
Select This term designates a choice operation, and
simply means touching the appropriate portion
of the screen.
A field can also be validated by pressing the

(Enter) key.
The word "select" will also be used to reach a
specific page.
Point out The cursor can also be positioned manually
using the cursor keys

.
Menu Designates the main menu page which can be
reached by pressing the MENU (F1) key.
A choice window "Menu Menuname" is also
called when pressing one of the keys at the
bottom of the screen (PRODUCT (F2) to
ACTIONS (F5) keys).

Function key Each time you are asked to press one of the
function keys MENU (F1) to SHUT DOWN
(F6), the corresponding menu appears.

QUICK START PAGE 5

QUICK START
This chapter describes, by means of some simple examples, diverse ways of
using your ModEva.
L-alpha Programming.
This method is the fastest and the most currently used in the workshop
when the operator has to create himself a product from a paper
drawing.
Direct Programming.
This type of programming is often used for simple products or by
operators having worked on conventional press brakes without
numerical controls.
This page is very close to what an operator has to do, since he has on
one single screen all the information and fields necessary for the
programming of his product.
3D Programming.
This type of programming enables the user to visualize the
construction of its product in 3D. This mode also enables more
elaborated constructions and modifications than in 2D mode.
We assume in this part that all the necessary tools have already been
programmed as well as the machine parameters.
Access levels We presume that the operator knows how to reach level 1. Should this not be
the case, see chapter Protection of the Access Levels further in this manual.

The screens of this manual have been captured with the PC 1200 Windows
software. They are however identical on the ModEva 15T, except for the
Windows aspect.

Reminder:
You will find the correspondence between the keys of the ModEva 15T and
those of a PC keyboard in the 2D Reference Manual under External
keyboard.
These procedures indicate to the operator a programming method
recommended by CYBELEC, enabling to assimilate by the example the
functioning of the software.
For additional information, please consult the 2D Reference Manual and/or
the 3D Reference Manual, which each contains a table of contents and a
detailed index facilitating the search for information.

PAGE 6 USER GUIDE

LEAVING THE SOFTWARE
It is possible at any time to quit the task after having memorized the current
state. However it is important to leave the software in the correct way by
calling up the MENU (F1) page and pressing the QUIT key.

The same procedure can be used on the PC software, or press the +

MENU (F1) keys on any page.

QUICK START PAGE 7

L-ALPHA (2D) PROGRAMMING
This chapter describes, by means of a concrete example, how to create a
product by using the "L-alpha" method (length-angle).
This method is fast and easy and allows displaying the product in 2D, which
usually is sufficient when products are being programmed in the workshop.
The product being used as an example is composed of 2 sections (profiles),
but the procedure is identical for one or several sections.

The side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, will be
made first, so that a punch of identical length as that for section 2 can be
used.
To make this product, we will use 2 mm thick ST37 type steel.

PAGE 8 USER GUIDE

 STEP BY STEP

CLEAR THE WORK ZONE

The user has to clear the work memory before creating a new product.
Call the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page, which enables the data
introduction in L-Alpha mode.
Press the PRODUCT (F2) function key.

Select PRODUCT NUMERICAL.

The figure below shows the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page containing a

previous product.

Clear the work zone to

create a new product

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 9

 Press the ACTION (F5) key.

Select ERASE PRODUCT.

This operation erases only the data of the work memory. That means that the
product which is possibly located in the work memory is not lost if it has
been saved beforehand.

PUNCH ADJUSTMENT
This chapter as well as the following Die Adjustment are optional when
programming in 2D mode.
It is interesting to look them over, for the TOOLS POSITION page enables
to define several places of work and hence to the operator to visualize the
tools assembly.
If the tools assembly is not important, skip these two chapters.
The tools definition will be made directly in the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page (page in which you still are at this stage of the procedure).
Call the TOOLS POSITION page by pressing the PRODUCT
function key and select TOOLS POSITION.

Place the cursor on the P field and press the key to open the
punch LIST OF CHOICES menu.

PAGE 10 USER GUIDE

 Select the required punch.
Modify the field by introducing a value equal to the half of field L
minus the half of the tool length, which corresponds to the central
point of the machine on which the punch is fixed. (In our example:
3500/2 – 195/2 = 1652.5 mm).
Modify the L field by introducing the value of 195 mm which
corresponds to the required tool length. In the front view the selected
tool appears in dark blue.

CHOICE OF TOOLS
As mentioned above, if the tools position is not indispensable, you can define
the tools directly in the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page.

Choice of tools

Touch the PUNCH field (upper part of the screen)*.

Press this key to display the LIST OF CHOICES.

Select the desired tool.

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 13

 Remark: Each window contains 20 tools. It is possible to reach the

next or previous 20 tools by using respectively the or

keys.
Each database (punchs and dies) is limited to 200 tools.
You can also call the end of the list by introducing the value
999 or recall the start of the list by introducing 001.

Proceed in the same way for the DIE.

Remark: It is possible to make the same choice, and in the same way,
in the TOOLS BEND page (via the BEND menu). This
enables to see the tools profile, along with their main
characteristics.

* The PUNCH and DIE fields in the upper part of the screen designate the
general tool for the calculation of the product. If a product is being
programmed via the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page, it is mandatory to
enter these two items.
The PUNCH and DIE columns in the table allow specifying a different tool
for a given bend.
In the BEND NUMERICAL page, there are also a PUNCH and a DIE field.
If the product has been programmed via the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page, these fields will be empty or partially filled if tools have been entered
in the corresponding columns of the table of the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page. This is so because these fields correspond to the ones in the table.
(Also see the section Direct Programming (BEND NUM) further in this
manual).

 GENERAL DATA

Enter:
- the punch
- the die
- the sigma/material
- the type of material
- the bending length

Touch the THICKNESS field and enter the thickness of the material
being used.
Touch the SIGMA field and introduce the force/mm² of the material
used. (E.g.: Steel = 37 Kg/mm²)
Touch the matter’s field until it shows STEEL.
Touch the BEND L. field and introduce the bending length for the
product (section 1 = 150.0 mm).

PROGRAMMING SECTION 1
The dimensions of the faces correspond to the external measurement
according to DIN.
See 2D Reference Manual, section Unfolded length.

45.0 45.0
45.0
90.0° 200.0 90.0°

200.0

When introducing the data in L-Alpha mode, just "begin" the profile by one
of the extremities and furnish one after the other the values of each face and
angle. At the last face there is no angle corresponding to.

45.0 45.0

90.0° 200.0 90.0°

Remark: As shown in the following figure, the profile of section 1 is

automatically drawn as a function of the introduced data
(length and angle), thus the value of the internal radius is
automatically calculated.

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 15

Section 1

Automatically drawn profile

Procedure:
Touch the first field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value
of 45 mm which corresponds to the first length.
Touch the first field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value of
90° which corresponds to the first angle to be bent.
Touch the second field of the LENGTH column and introduce the
value of 200 mm which corresponds to the second length.
Touch the second field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value
of 90° which corresponds to the second angle to be bent.
Touch the third field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value
of 45 mm which corresponds to the last length before the edge of the
product.
Hint: Introduce first all the lengths and then the angles. This way of operating is
much faster.

PROGRAMMING SECTION 2
The definition of the bending direction is done by inversing the angle sign,
however the choice of the side is arbitrary, but has to be constant for the
whole profile of the product.

Section 2

Procedure:
Stay on PRODUCT NUMERICAL page.
Touch the SECTION field, enter the value of 2 and leave the field.
This automatically initializes a new page for programming section 2.
Touch the BEND L. field and enter the bending length for this
section (200).
Touch the first field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value
of 30 mm which corresponds to the first length.
Touch the first field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value
of 90° which corresponds to the first angle to be bent.
Touch the second field of the LENGTH column and introduce the
value of 40 mm which corresponds to the second length.
Touch the second field of the ANGLE column and introduce the
value of -90° which corresponds to the second angle to be bent.
Touch the third field of the LENGTH column and introduce the
value of 150 mm which corresponds to the third length.
Touch the third field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value
of 135° which corresponds to the third angle to be bent.
Touch the fourth field of the LENGTH column and introduce the
value of 20 which corresponds to the last length before the edge of
the product.

Remark: As shown in the previous figure, the profile of section 2 is

automatically drawn as a function of the introduced data
(length and angle), thus the value of the internal radius is
automatically calculated. The unfolded length too is
calculated.

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 17

 PRODUCT CALCULATION

Calculation of the
unfolded lengths

Stay on the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page.

Select CALCULATE in the ACTION menu.
The message CALCULATING... appears in the interactive field on
the top right-hand corner of the screen.
The data in the UNFLD. LE. DIN (Length of the unfolded sheet) and
Ri (Internal radius) fields appears.

Remark: If the CALCULATE function key is not activated, the

calculation will be carried out automatically as soon as another
screen page is being accessed.
This function is to use for the software versions previous to U2.

BENDING RANGE (BEND 2D)

Searching for the

bending range

Call the BEND 2D page (BEND menu).

In the SIMULAT. field, choose the option WITHOUT PROGR.
BENDS.
In the ACTION menu, choose SEARCH BENDING RANGE.
The message SIMULATING RUNS…, then CALCULATING...
appears in the interactive field on the top right-hand corner of the
screen.

PAGE 18 USER GUIDE

 The succession of sequences can then be visualized using the
Pg Dn
and keys.
In the just programmed example we can see that the searching for the
bending range has first placed the section 1, and then the section 2.
The operator has the possibility to modify the bending range (see the
corresponding chapter in the 2D Reference Manual) or to ask the software to
respect specific criteria like minimum of swings or returns. For that, please
refer to the 2D Reference Manual, section Simulation criteria.
In case where the software program does not find any solution, the bending
range must be imposed manually.
See Bending order in the 2D Reference Manual.

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 19

 POSITION OF AXES, OTHER FUNCTIONS

Menu BEND, page BEND NUMERICAL.

It can be seen that the axis position, the bending force, the crowning and, if
applicable, the retraction and the top dead center (depending on how they
have been defined in the machine parameters) are calculated automatically.
These values can be modified by the operator.
According to his needs, the operator can modify the following items:
TDC Top Dead Center. If not programmed, the beam
will rise to the maximum TDC.
RETRACTION BG Retraction of the backgauge.
SP Switch Point (switching from High Speed to
Bending Speed).
DWELL TIME Time during which pressure is being
maintained.
BENDING SPEED Bending speed downward or the speed during
the upward moving phase until the clamping
point is reached.
LOW SPEED Defines the portion (expressed in %) of the
DISTANCE upward movement between the TDC and the
clamping point which will be carried out at low
speed; the continuation of the upward
movement is made at high speed.

Complementary explications are found in the 2D Reference Manual.

To execute the product, see the Bending, Tests and Corrections section,
page 31.

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 21

 DIRECT PROGRAMMING (BEND NUM)
This type of programming is often used for simple products or by operators
having worked on conventional press brakes without numerical controls.
This page is very user-friendly, for the operator has on one single screen all
the information and fields necessary for the programming of his product.

SECTION 1

SECTION 2 0
0 0.
2

40.0
30.0

45.0
150.
0

.0

The bending order is chosen by the operator, since he programs directly each
bend.
In this example, we first realize the side flaps with the oblong holes, which
are included in section 1, so that a punch of identical length as that for section
2 can be used.
To make this product, we will use 2 mm thick ST37 type steel.

STEP BY STEP

CLEAR THE WORK ZONE

The user has to clear the work memory before creating a new product.

 Call the BEND NUMERICAL page by pressing the BEND (F3)
function key and selecting BEND NUMERICAL.

Press the ACTION (F5) key.

Choose ERASE PRODUCT.

Clear the work zone to

create a new product

This operation erases only the data of the work memory. That means that the
product, which is possibly located in the work memory, is not lost if it has
been saved beforehand.

 GENERAL DATA

Enter:
- the sigma/material
- the type of material

Touch the THICKNESS field and enter the thickness of the material
being used.
Touch the SIGMA field and introduce the force/mm² of the material
used. (E.g.: STEEL = 37 Kg/mm²).
Note: It is mandatory to program these data, as well as the tools
(see following page).

DIRECT PROGRAMMING PAGE 25

 CHOICE OF TOOLS

Choice of tools

Stay on the BEND NUMERICAL page.

Touch the PUNCH field.

Touch the key to display the CHOICE LIST.

Select the desired punch.
Proceed in the same way for choosing a DIE.
Remark: It is possible to make the same choice, and in the same way, in
the TOOLS BEND page (via the BEND menu). This enables
to see the tools profile, along with their main characteristics.

ENTERING THE DATA (1)

The conventional way of entering the data is to program in the
BEND NUMERICAL page:
The required angle (the Y depth will be calculated according to the
tools and the material already programmed). It is also possible to
directly enter the Y1 / Y2 values without programming the angle.
The real position of the back gauge.
The specific data for the current sequence (top dead center, bending
length and, if necessary, back gauge type, retraction, dwell time, etc.)

PAGE 26 USER GUIDE

Below is shown the screen with the values for these two bends.

The page shown above illustrates how to program the two flaps with the
oblong holes (section 1).
The two bends being identical enter 2 in the CY field. Program the angle to
90°, the X axis to its absolute value (43.00) and enter the bending length
(150).
The bending force and the crowning will be calculated automatically.
The operator can, of course, modify these values if necessary.
According to his needs, the operator can also modify:
TDC Top Dead Center. If not programmed, the beam
will rise to the maximum TDC.
RETRACTION BG Retraction of the back gauge.
SP Switch Point (switching from High Speed to
Bending Speed).
DWELL TIME Time during which pressure is being
maintained.
BENDING SPEED Bending speed downward or the speed during
the upward moving phase until the clamping
point is reached.
LOW SPEED Defines the portion (expressed in %) of the
DISTANCE upward movement between the TDC and the
clamping point which will be carried out at low
speed; the continuation of the upward
movement is made at high speed.

DIRECT PROGRAMMING PAGE 27

 ENTERING THE DATA (2)
HINT The way of programming described above (section Entering the Data (1))
requires of the operator to subtract the steel thickness from the external
dimension of the product. The procedure described below will facilitate the
programming. It has, however, some limitations depending on the product
and the chosen bending order.
The hint consists of entering the external dimension in the X field of the back
gauge, and to program a constant negative correction corresponding to
(approximately, according to your experience, to the tools and to the
material) the material thickness for the entire product.
This procedure is described hereafter:

BEND NUMERICAL page, same remark as underneath the

preceding screen illustration, except for the fact that X has been
programmed with the external dimension, as explained. (45)
This sequence carries out the bending of the two flaps of 45.0 mm
with the oblong holes.
To create the subsequent sequence, press the ACTION key and
choose COPY BEND.
It can be seen that all the data has been copied onto the second
sequence.

Enter the first flap of the second section, i.e. X = 30.00.

Modify the field CY = 1 or leave it unprogrammed.
Modify the bending length (BEND L. = 200) and possibly the other
fields according to your needs.
Press the ACTION key and choose COPY BEND.

PAGE 28 USER GUIDE

Program X = 40.00.
Press the ACTION key and choose COPY BEND.

For the last bend, enter ANGLE = 135.0° and X = 20.00.

Call the CORRECTIONS (F4) page.

In the PRODUCT column, enter the value to be subtracted from the

external dimension in order to obtain a correct back gauge position
(generally, a value close to the material thickness). In our example, a
value of – 2.00 mm.

BENDING, TESTS AND CORRECTIONS
This chapter explains how to proceed in order to execute a product. This way
of doing is destined only to demonstrate how to use the numerical control.
The testing and adjusting operations can be carried out in the order decided
by the operator.

Go into semi-automatic mode .

If necessary, move to the first sequence by means of the or

Pg Dn
keys.

Press the start key in order to position the axes on the first
sequence.
Carry out the bend with a trial product.
Measure the flap and the obtained angle.
Go to or remain in the CORRECTIONS page.

If necessary, correct the flap (in this example, a correction of

X = - 0.10 is assumed) for the current bend.
Reminder: In the above screen page the correction of -2.00 mm
corresponds to the material thickness programmed in the
example Entering the Data (2) above.
Touch the ANGLE field, BEND column, and enter the measured
angle (93.0 in this case). The software automatically calculates the
necessary correction (-0.292,which can be seen in the Y1, Y2 fields,
in the BEND column). Also see the 2D Reférence Manual in the
Corrections section.
Carry out a second test bend (on the same sequence, with a second test
product). If necessary, make a new correction.
Depending on the material, the machine adjustment and the exactness
of the data introduced, 2 or 3 corrections can be necessary for a bend.
This can be considered as being a normal situation.

PROTECTION OF THE ACCESS LEVELS

GENERAL INFORMATION
In this manual we will always speak of a (virtual) key position like e.g.: "Key
in position 3".

Levels There are 4 access levels, 0 to 3.

0 = Programming prohibited.
1 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of one (or
more) product(s).
2 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of the tools.
3 = Programming, modification and transfer of the machine parameters.

Access These levels are reached by pressing the

Alt Alt Alt Alt
+ , + , + or + keys.
Remark: Release the numerical key before the Alt key.
The key position is displayed as a small pictograph at the right bottom of the
screen.
When passing to non-authorized level, a password modification will be
requested.
When the password has been introduced, you can "navigate" in the inferior
levels and equal to the authorized one without reintroducing the password.
Switching to level 0 reinitializes the password request.

Users A number of different users is predefined. A user is not a physical person in

particular, but can be for example all the operators having the authorization
to work on the machine.
Each predefined user possesses its own password and a maximum level
which he can reach. For more information, see Table of users, access and
passwords.

Password Certain users can modify their own password. For the others, the password
can only be changed by a user having a superior access.

Characteristics The password can be composed of alphanumerical characters if such a

keyboard is available and if not only of numerical characters.

Loss of the password In case of loss of the password, a user of a superior level has to reprogram the
password.

A predefined user is just a role.

Many physical persons can have the same role, e.g. many physical operators can be a EUL1 (level 1).
After installing the machine it is advised to modify the password by default of level 4 (WSSUPER =
Workshop supervisor) and of level 3 (EUL3 = Operators with authorization level 3), because the
passwords are in this manual.

PROTECTION OF THE ACCESS LEVELS PAGE 47

 ACCESS BY PASSWORD
At the software’s startup, the virtual key is always positioned at 0.

When the operator selects one of the combinations + , or

, the following message appears:

combination
Password

Enter the password.

Press .
The authorized level is shown in the bottom right box in the screen.
Otherwise a message indicating that the user is not authorized is
displayed.
Once the authorization acquired, the operator can change the level among
those authorized to him without reappearing of a new password request.
For instance, a user with access on level 3 can navigate between levels 1, 2
and 3 without having to give his password again.
If level 0 is activated, the access to any other level will require introducing
the password again.
This request also will appear when the user passes to a superior level (from 0
to 1, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, etc.) and he has no access authorization.
Advice If you have accessed level 3, access level 0 after your intervention. This will
avoid making undesired changings by inadvertence.

PAGE 48 USER GUIDE

ACCESS TO LEVELS SUPERIOR TO 3

PC 1200 SOFTWARE
There are 2 figures to be distinguished:
1. PC 1200 2D (=PC 1200) software delivered with ModEva 15T. This
software doesn't require any protection key.
2. PC 1200 3D software delivered with ModEva 15T. This software
requires a protection key for his good working.

PC PROTECTION KEY
Only for PC 1200 3D:
The key must be equipped with at least the options 20, 25 to authorize PC
1200 3D to work.
Install the protection key on USB port.
When starting, the software displays the WELCOME page.
At the bottom of this page you can read the serial number of the key, as well
as the available options.
If it happens that the key is not be recognized, the message ILLEGAL
CONFIGURATION appears, the serial number is empty and it is not
possible to go into other pages of the software.
In this case: leave the software, carry out each of the points below by always
restarting the software in order to know if the point has solved the problem.
- Verify that the key is really on a USB port.
- Install the Sentinel driver found in the CD directory under the directory
\Tools\Sentinel_Pro_Drivers\SproDriver_7_2_2.
For that, execute the Sentinel Protection Installer 7.2.2.exe found in
this directory.
- For Windows NT or Windows 2000 or XP, you must have a Sentinel
Super Pro key which differentiates by its size (see photo). The other keys
(larger) are NOT recognized.

- "Under" Windows NT, 2000 or XP, it may be possible that additionally

the RAINPORT driver is to be installed which is on the CD of ModEva
15T as well, in the directory \Tools\Win_NT_2000\Rainport.
- If all these attempts have not solved the problem:
Start the cybdng3.exe software which is found in the \Tools\Prot_key
directory. The carrying out of this last must return you the number of the
key as well as the available options.
- If there is no result, try on another PC of a different brand and if possible
with another OS (Win 95, Win 98). It happens that the port is not
compatible with the key.

PAGE 64 USER GUIDE

- If the result is also negative on another PC, then the protection key may
have been damaged. This requires a replacement.

In a network configuration, the PC software can be installed on the server.

Note, however, that this is not recommended due to potential problems if
multiple users run the software at the same time. Also note that a protection
key is required for each PC running the software, and that the protection key
cannot be installed on the server.
Depending on the configuration and options, the ModEva 15T also requires a
protection key. If the protection key is not found, the message illegal
configuration can be shown (and the ModEva 15T cannot be used in this
case), or one or more options of the ModEva 15T will not be available.
The protection key is not required for the installation of the software.

INSTALLATION OF MODEVA WINDOWS PAGE 65

 INSTALLATION OF PC 1200
Install the protection key (only with PC 1200 3D).
Insert the CD-ROM in the CD reader and follow the instructions.
If the software asks you the question, choose Installation on PC
(and not on ModEva 15T).

By default, the software sets up in a CYB/ directory and there in a

sub-directory under the name of the installed version.
This enables to have several different versions on the PC.
If the software asks you the question, introduce the CONFIG 03 disk
(or higher) and continue the installation.

If you have no diskette, click on NO, the software will then be

installed with the standard options.

Installation in an existing directory

If you wish to not keep your old version, but make an update in the same
directory as your old software, answer also by NO on the question "install
the CONFIG 03 diskette ?".
In this way the parameters of your old software will be kept, the
configuration, the parameters, the products and the paths.

Installation under Windows NT, 2000 or XP

Attention: under these systems you must have the rights of an

ADMINISTRATOR to install the software.

Before or after the software installation, but before starting PC 1200:

Install the Sentinel driver which is found in the CD directory under the
directory \Tools\Sentinel_Pro_Drivers\SproDriver_7_2_2.
For that, execute the Sentinel Protection Installer 7.2.2.exe which
is found in this directory.
