The Remote Panel Programs allow accessing the functions of the Allen Datagraph robots (i.e. cutters) from the computer instead of the front panel of the machine. The Remote Panel programs include the firmware for the your machine. Allen Datagraph recommends that if you are not having any problems with your robot that you do not upgrade your firmware. Only install the Remote Panel Program. You should only update the firmware after consulting tech support. The build number of the Remote Panel Program must match the build number of the firmware in your robot. You can find the firmware build number of the firmware on your robot by installing one of the builds, then click on setup -> main menu on the installed program. If the build numbers do not match down load and install the correct remote panel. If you need older versions of the remote panel please send an email to info@allendatagraph.com to request the remote panel program you need.

Cutter firmware for Cutters built after 6-21-5. First three numbers of cutter serial number indicate year and month of manufacture. E.g. I507 was built in July of 2005. If your cutter serial number starts with I506 call the factory to determine which to load. You can also start the remote panel and match the cutter firmware build # displayed in the main menu.
