TRAK LPM Programming, Safety, & Operating Manual

To tell if the DXF File Converter is active on your ProtoTRAK PMX CNC, go to the

options screen using Service Code #318. If the AutoCAD DXF option is in black letters,

it is activated. If it is in gray letters, you will need to purchase the option to activate it.

The DXF Option consists of an Activation Password, and may require an additional

software update. To download the latest version of our DXF software, go to our website

at www.southwesternindustries.com then click ‘Support & Software’ for current

ProtoTRAK CNC, and follow the instructions for downloading the software via a USB

flash drive. See Section 3.1.6 below for instructions on ordering and obtaining your

Activation Password.

The DXF Option has its own manual which is shipped with the software. You may also

view a copy of the manual on our web site.

3.1.5 CAM Out Option

Note: CAM file run by bringing a CAM file into the ProtoTRAK PMX is a standard

feature.

The CAM out Option gives you the ability to create or modify a program using the easy,

intuitive ProtoTRAK interface and then convert that program into a CAM file or G Code

file to use to run other CNCs.

Note: you do not need the CAM Out option to share programs between ProtoTRAK

CNCs.

To tell if the CAM Out feature is active on your ProtoTRAK PMX CNC, go to the

options screen using Service Code #318. If the CAM Out option is in black letters, it is

activated. If it is in gray letters, you will need to purchase the option to activate it.

The software for the CAM Out Option requires an Activation Password for you to use.

See Section 3.1.6 below for instructions on ordering and obtaining your Activation

Password.

3.1.6 How To Buy Software Options

If you did not buy the software options described above with your machine, you may

purchase them later. In order to use these options, a Software Activation Password is

required. These passwords are unique to your ProtoTRAK PMX CNC.

Software Options are not free. You may call your local Southwestern Industries Sales

Representative or Southwestern Industries Inside Sales at 310-608-4422 for a price
