ration software:

2.2.2 Installation
To install the configuration software, you need the installation CD-ROM.
Upon execution of the setup program setup.exe on the installation CD-ROM, a self-expla-
natory installation routine is started. After the installation, the program is ready to be started.
With an update installation, the setup program checks whether ASIMON version 2.x is already
installed on the PC. If a previous installation is detected, the setup program offers the option
of replacing the existing installation with version 3.0 or, as an alternative, creating a second
subfolder.
Notice
If the connection between the AS-Interface safety monitor and the PC is already established
when the PC is started, the mouse cursor may move erratically about the screen.
Remedy:
• When starting the PC, unplug the connection cable between the PC and the safety moni-
tor.
• Change the start behaviour of the PC (see user documentation for the PC or that of the
operating system manufacturer).
