The CYBELEC ModEva’s equipped with Windows have been installed at the factory with a configuration especially made for the numerical control. This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the ModEva, offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical control.
