1)Start the setup program (<SCAPS>\tools\sc_setup.exe). Select "Hardware Settings" and select 'sc_light_settings.sam' (default SAMLight settings file) and click 'Load' and 'Settings'.

a)General Settings: Here the SCAPS laser type '0' and version '0' have to be entered and the scanner settings have to be set up.

b)Driver Settings: Here all laser settings and the correction file have to be set up.

c)Press the "Store" button in "Driver Settings" to save the configuration on the USC-3 card. This is important for the standalone mode (flash mode).

2)Start the server in visible mode (<SCAPS>\system\sc_usc_server /v).

a)Set up LAN connection (Ethernet, RJ45)

3)Re-power USC-3 card

4)Use a FTP client program to get access to the USC-3 FTP server (ftp://USC-3-IP) and copy following files to it:

a)ftp://USC-3-IP/misc/sc_gcode_defines.cnc
Optional global G-Code define file containing definition commands.

b)ftp://USC-3-IP/jobs/*.cnc
G-Code job file containing program and function code. Defines which are already set in the G-Code define file will be overwritten by the values of the G-Code job file.

5)With the following flash commands you can convert the *.cnc files from the /jobs directory of the USC-3 card to *.unf files on the USC-3 flash memory (you can do so for example by going to <SCAPS>\system\sc_usc_server /v -> Flash -> PC-Mode: Convert "USC-3-IP/jobs/*.cnc" to *.unf on the flash memory with the flash interface command GCF.

6)After the *.unf file was generated it can be add to the job list pool by the FCI command JLA.
