The ACT Software
The ACT software is supplied with each AMI and must be installed on the programming computer. The
programmer should be familiar with the ACT software prior to attempting to program the device for use
in a Sonic system. The program contains on-line help screens to assist.
N OTE : The following sections are provided as a reference guide only, and are not intended to be a
training manual for the ACT software.
The AMI can be used as a standalone device or as a component in other GAI-Tronics systems. When
creating a new configuration, there are templates available that speed up the configuration process. These
templates contain many of the default values needed for proper operation in the system. If simply making
changes to an existing configuration file the templates are not applicable.
When the ACT software is started, it will open the initial screen showing all the existing AMI
configurations stored on the PC being used. Each configuration is represented by an icon with a
description below it for identification. The sample screen display below is an example of many different
saved AMI configurations.
