## Configuration

Before working with NC Gage, it needs to be configured according to your machine tool settings. This work is normally done by the person who installs your probe hardware.

Note: The Okuma controller must be configured using the A MTD mode and NOT the S MTD mode.

See Appendix A - Controller Configuration for a detailed description of the Controller Configuration.

Note: NC Gage requires that .NET 2.0 is installed on the computer that will run NC Gage. If .NET 2.0 is already installed, then NC Gage will be installed when requested to do so. If .NET 2.0 is not installed, then the installation routine will ask the user if they would like to download and install it now. Pressing OK will link the user to the Microsoft web site where the user can download and install .NET 2.0.

Windows OS Note: If using a virtual machine utility (VMWare for example) to run NC Gage in another language other than English, the Windows OS may pick up and update to the virtual machine clients' regional/language settings automatically (periods may change to commas for example.) If switching back to English language from a foreign language, these changes need to be manually reset using the Regional and Language settings within the Windows OS Control Panel to prevent measurement errors.
