Requirements

  • Power Focus 4000 system

    • To carry out uploads and comparisons, a compatible version of the editor must be installed on the same computer on which the server or an agent is running.
    • The upload is carried out using the commandline tool ttpf.exe (ToolsTalk Power Focus 4000) from Atlas Copco. This tool must be installed, licensed and running on the computer (server or agent) carrying out the upload.

  • Power MACS 4000 system

    • To carry out uploads, a compatible version of the editor must be installed on the same computer on which the server or an agent is running.

    • The upload is carried out using the commandline tool PowerMacs4000.exe (ToolsTalk Power MACS 4000) from Atlas Copco. This tool must be installed, licensed and running on the computer (server or agent) carrying out the upload.

  • To perform uploads for Atlas Copco nutrunner controls, the executing service must run under a specific user account that is a member of the Administrators group.
