Home  /  MASSO G3 – BETA v4.02.91b Release Notes

IMPORTANT! – Please read the below release notes first.

IMPORTANT! – Take screenshots of your current controller settings including all setup and calibration data including input and output function assignments and invert status as after loading this software your controller might reset to default settings or controller settings might change.

Also save the controller settings to settings file and text files. The settings file will be required to load settings if later you want to install the older software version.

IMPORTANT: After loading this software version, all tools data in the F4 screen will be erased and the user must manually add all tools data in F4 screen before using the machine.

IMPORTANT: This version has new tool changer logic which requires all the inputs and outputs to be reassigned and calibration data entered into the tool changer settings in the F1 screen before using the machine.

IMPORTANT: From this version tool changer logic will change to tool number 1 to tool number 100. In earlier versions tool changers used to work from tool 0 to tool 99. These changes have been done to add support for Multi-Head systems.
