4 Connecting the ADT
The ADT has standard pin-out 15 way D-type input and output connectors. It can be used either
in-line (feed-through), between the readhead and the controller as part of the control loop of the
machine, or stand-alone, connected to the readhead and powered via the USB port from a PC.
NOTE: When using the ADT in-line use an isolated battery-operated PC to ensure best noise
immunity.
For readheads with alternative pin-outs or connectors an adaptor cable kit is required.
Each kit contains two 0.1 m adaptor cables, one to connect the readhead to the input of
the ADT, the other to connect the output of the ADT to the controller.
2 Installing the ADT View software
Full administration rights are necessary to install and uninstall the ADT View software.
Before installing a new version of the software ensure that any previous versions have been
uninstalled. See section 3 for more information.
The software is free to download from www.renishaw.com/adt. Follow the on-screen
instructions to install and run the software.
NOTE: To create a shortcut on the desktop or specify an installation location select Options
and click Create a shortcut for this program on the desktop. Select the Install
location followed by OK.
3 Repairing/uninstalling the ADT View software
Ensure there are no copies of the software running before attempting to uninstall.
• Go to Control panel > Programs and Features and select Renishaw ADT View.
• Follow the instructions on the screen to remove or repair the software as required.

The signal strength is displayed as a percentage and on a signal bar. The signal bar remains purple at all
signal amplitudes regardless of AGC status.
Click the speaker button for an audible indicator of the signal strength to aid set-up where the readhead
LED and signal screen are not visible. As the signal level increases the tone gets higher.

5.1.4 Pitch indication
During installation mode and normal operation the pitch of the readhead is displayed. The colour of the
indicator and arrows will change depending on the pitch of the readhead. The arrows show the direction
the readhead should be adjusted.
Green The pitch of the readhead is optimum, no adjustment is required.
Orange The pitch of the readhead is within tolerance but adjustment is recommended to
optimise performance. Adjust pitch of the readhead as indicated.
Red The pitch of the readhead is out of tolerance. Adjust pitch of the readhead as indicated.
NOTE: The pitch is not displayed when the signal size is less than 10% or when the system is in
calibration mode.

alarm and warning log (section 5.1.6.1). The indication will remain until the system
is no longer in error.
NOTE: If the readhead has low signal when the software is started no alarm will be
displayed. The software will see this as an old error and display it in the log
as an old alarm. The alarm will not be displayed until the fault is cleared and
reasserted.
2 A pop-up describing the alarm or warning condition will be displayed for 10 seconds
when an error occurs. The pop-up is visible on all screens.
3 The last alarm or warning that occurred will be displayed in the bottom bar until the
log is cleared. Click the button to open the alarm and warnings log
(section 5.1.6.1).

• IRED drive vs position (green plot). The IRED drive is the relative current through the infrared emitter (IRED) in the readhead.
The limit and reference mark positions are displayed along the bottom.
NOTES:
• During installation mode changing direction of the readhead at speed may result in multiple reference marks or limits being plotted on the graph; this is due to the speed of movement being faster
than the data plot rate.
• If an alarm or warning occurs the plot will automatically stop. Click the green triangle or press the space bar to restart the plot (section 5.3.2.2).
