This topic and its subtopics discuss interface-specific information and options that have to do with the Machine Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Machine Interface Setup).
The LKRS232 interface is used with eight different LK controllers: Cupe Serial, Cupe GPIB, Micron Drive, LK3000, LK2000/2002/2000+, LK4000, ACT, and AIM. The LK-3000 is older than both the LK-2000 and the LK-4000. The ACT is the replacement for the 2000 line, and the AIM is the replacement for the 4000.
Before you start PC-DMIS, rename lkrs232.dll to interfac.dll.
