General

The start procedure for Setup and WindLGC can take quite a while on older computers, without anything visible on the screen. Do not start the application more than once.

Installation

Because Java does not always correctly handle platform-specific characters, avoid using special characters such as ! / : ; \ . ? ' " in directory names.

You can alternatively install WindLGC by copying the directory as mentioned in step 1 below to your hard disk. The name of the executable program is WindLGC.exe.

Proceed as follows if you want to copy WindLGC to a server:

1.      Copy the contents of the following directory on the WindLGC CD-ROM to the server.

l        <CD-ROM>: \Windows\Tools\Application  

2.      Set up a connection to this server directory from the client side.

If you have installed WindLGC on the server via setup, you must change all absolute path entries in the file "Start.lax" (e.g. lib\classes.jar) to paths relative to the installation directory.

You can alternatively copy the file from ..\Tools\Network of the WindLGC CD-ROM.

Uninstalling

You can uninstall WindLGC with the Uninstall program. This program is located at

<Installation directory>\UninstallerData\Uninstall.exe.

Known Problems

1.      Communication errors can occur if you operate IDEC SmartRelay hardware with WindLGC on MS-Windows Plug-and-Play operating systems. To solve this problem, proceed as follows to reduce the length of the FIFO buffer for the COM port as much as possible: 

1)      Click Properties, and select the Port Settings tab.

2)      Click Advanced, and then set both Receive Buffer and Send Buffer to Low.

2.      If page border lines do not print, adjust page margins via  File > Page Setup.

3.      Printing to a Kyocera FS1600 printer can cause corruption of the text in drawings. To solve this problem, install the "Kyocera FS1600+ (KPDL2)" printer driver. An English version of this driver is available on your CD, under<cdrom>:/windows/printer/k9xpsen.exe.

For details about installing printer drivers, refer to your operating system documentation.

4.      To solve printer problems, update your printer driver or install the standard driver from your operating system CD.

5.      If printing problems persist, you can save the file in PDF format and print it from Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can also save drawings in BMP or JPG format or edit in other applications.

6.      To resolve flickering of the cursor in simulation mode, disable user-specific mouse settings or the mouse tracking.

7.      The driver for the IDEC SmartRelay USB PC-cable does not support Windows 98SE.
