Updating Software


A new Stoll operating system can also be copied on the hard disk while the machine is producing. Thereby no data will be overwritten but the operating system will be loaded into a separate memory area.

This saves a few minutes time, as copying occurs during production. The updating is not carried out until later, i.e. when the machine is switched off and on again at the main switch. A prompt appears, asking you whether the new operating system shall be loaded.

For the software update the source from where the new Stoll operating system should be copied can be selected.
