Electronic documentation
Two user documents are placed on your station when AMS Device Manager is
installed. These documents are available as Portable Document Format (PDF) files,
and include the AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager Installation Guide and the Work
Processes Guide.
You need Adobe
®
Reader
®
to view these files. If you do not have a compatible version
of Adobe Reader on your PC already, you can download Adobe Reader from
www.adobe.com.
To access an electronic document after Adobe Reader is installed:
• Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Help > <document> from
the Windows taskbar.
Release Notes
The Release Notes provide the most up-to-date information about the current release
of AMS Device Manager, including supported devices, compatibility issues, and
known discrepancies and workarounds.
The Release Notes are provided in text (.TXT) format. You can access the Release
Notes in two ways:
• From the Start menu (Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Help >
Release Notes)
• By double-clicking the RELNOTES.TXT file located in the AMS folder after
installation or on DVD
We recommend that you read the Release Notes prior to using AMS Device Manager
and print a copy for future reference.
Device manuals
Many device manufacturers provide manuals for their devices in PDF format. Run the
AMS_PDF_Installer utility to copy relevant manuals to your hard drive. The utility is
located in the Device Documentation Installer folder on the AMS Device Manager
installation DVD. After installing device manuals, you access them in AMS Device
Manager by right-clicking a device and selecting Help from the context menu. If a
device manual is available, it opens in Adobe Reader. If no manual exists for the
selected device, AMS Device Manager Books Online opens. To see a list of device
manuals installed on your station, select Help > Device from the AMS Device Manager
toolbar. Double-click a device to open the associated manual.
