content: Hi, i have an old TF 3000 bga rework station, but the harddisk died and need to be replaced.Now we have a new windows xp installed but could not rescue the TF3000 software from the old disk.Already contacted pace support and they didn't have the software any more, so right now the station cannot work.Does any one have this software please?

content: Hi,On what medium (FDD; CD / DVD; or RAR) did you receive SW and what is the size of SW in MB?Can you send it to me?What windows do you install it on?Do you have TF1700 connected to a PC with a standard cable (RS232) or with a homemade one?The cable must be complete: DSR-DTR (jumper in the connector), RX, TX, CTS, RTS, GND.It seems to me - you do not have a PC connection with the TF controller.

content: Hello,I do not undestand this quesiton: "Do you have TF1700 connected to a PC with a standard cable (RS232) or with a homemade one?" What you mean with "homemade one"?I have connectivity with the TF Mainboard via RS232 because in in the log files I can see the camera buffer initialization andthis errors I have post.By TF3000 we have two RS232 connection... one is for the mainboard and the other one is for the camera controll.I have changed all on this machine as HW and the problem stay the same... I think that this is a software problem. This "Runtime error" massage .... really I do not know .....The machine is with MATROX Capture controller for the cameras...

content: In general, I asked {zoli75} about the TF1700 but you got ahead of me.Can you answer me: why does the TF3000 have an FDD on the back?And what should be on a 1.44MB floppy disk?In fact, you have two independent channels (RS232) and VGA, which are served by different controllers.The SW program itself is complex - for zone thermal profiles and for VGA. You just switch windows.You have no connection with the thermal profile controller via RS232.Run any terminal program and try to get at least some replica at the moment of TF initialization (PWR_ON).I used to work with ST350 and there SW on CDRom always had to be in the drive.Or there must be an ISO on a virtual CD.I asked about FDD for a reason.

content: Hi asis,I have bought the TF3000 in original condition and I have remove the original PC (it was inside the machine) and change it with dual core modenr industrial PC. I do not use the FDD more... I have in the Machine set one 1.44MB Diskete but I do not know what is inside. I have not use FDD from more than 10 Years. I have not FDD-usb to check that is writtenin the Diskete.What TF Machine you have and what is the problem by you? If I can help will do.Best regards

content: I received the files online from Pace. They sent me multiple versions tf17_2004, tf17_5000, tf17_3005, tf17_6500. They are around 12-14 megabytes. My system: PC: hp500bmt with matrox cronosplus framegrabber, startek serial port, windows xp professional 32 bit. I use RS232 cable (not homemade, it was bought). If you give me an email I can send the files to you from there.

content: Hi,I tried to run the SW provided by Zoli75, but every time I get an error related to the lack of a license file.I want to return to the message in the topic of the starter of this post {dinix}, where he indicated that his HDD failed and he could not restore it and asks for SW.Unfortunately, I don't have TF1700 / TF3000, but I have SW for ST325 / 350, which I installed from CD.I noticed that when starting the installed program, if the CD itself is missing in the drive, then the program does not start and cannot find the license file. If you insert the CD, everything works. Therefore, it seems to me that PACE supplies hardware with a pre-installed SW or sells software on media with a license file.

content: Hello Zoli75,I know this is an old post. I hope message reaches you!I have a tf1700 I purchased from a university that always wipes computers for security purposes and often removes from machines.So I have the TF1700 with no computer. I did receive all the cables so I hope that helps.If you could possibly supply a copy of software I would be forever grateful and pass onto anyone else in need.Hopefully awaiting reply.Thanks, Dan
