8.3 Concepts

The LiNX Access PC tool provides many tools and features
to simplify configuring and programming LiNX modules and
systems.
Two important concepts are:
• context modes
• editing modes
1605129-C
Context modes
The context modes allow you to work with configuration files
both online (that is with a connected system) and offline
(that is with files stored on your computer) simultaneously.
There are two context modes:
• Connection context A. The PC tool interacts with a
connected system. From the Open a connection tab, you
can connect to a wheelchair through a LiNX Access Key.
• File context B. The PC tool interacts with stored files
on your computer. From the Open a file tab, you can
access a file stored on your computer.
The connection tab is always found on the left side
of the application's screen. You can only have one
connection tab open at any time.
File tabs are always placed to the right of the application's
screen. The application allows multiple file tabs to be open
at any time.
Editing modes
The LiNX Access PC tool offers two parameter editing modes
that define when parameters are written to the wheelchair.
These modes are:
• Live edit (connection context only).
• Bulk edit.
For more information about the editing modes, refer to 6.3.4
Modifying a program, page 53.

8.4 Checking and getting the latest version

The LiNX Access PC tool automatically checks for updated
software and firmware. This operation requires an Internet
connection and is only performed in a 24 hour period. If
application updates are available, a notification is displayed
asking if you want to download the updates. Click on Yes
button to continue. After the application updates have been
downloaded, a notification is displayed, asking if you want to
install the updates. Click on Yes button to continue.
To manually check for updates, you can either:
• check the Dynamic Controls website at
www.dynamiccontrols.com or
• from the main menu on the LiNX Access PC tool, click
on Help and then on Check for updates.
