We've recently had a few customers reporting difficulties with using their Windows 10 systems to communicate with their ACG units. This solution aims to guide you through the process of installing the ACG software tool onto your Windows 10 tablet/ PC/ Laptop and getting it to communicate with your device.
The first (and arguably most important) step would be to download and install Windows Mobile device center.
You can find this by navigating to https://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center-for-Windows-Vista-64-bit/3000-2094_4-10714492.html and searching for Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit). Alternatively find a more suitable downloading site by simply searching on google(Please email [email protected] if this link doesn't work.)
Once downloaded, open the drvupdate-amd64.exe file and follow onscreen prompts
Insert the CD provided with your ACG device into your system optical drive and run the setup file
Follow onscreen prompts to install the ACG Software
