NOTE: ACR9600 projects can still be opened on a Windows XP or Windows 7 installation of ACR View 6.4.2.1011 with no modification required.
INSTRUCTIONS
Open up the folder for the project that needs to be updated. Find the folder titled IEC_<project name> and delete it.
Open the folder with the name of your controller. It should be the only other folder available and will most likely be titled ACR9600, ACR9630 or ACR9640.
Open Controller.ini.
There are three fields that need to be altered: Name, ID and PartNumber.
For Name and PartNumber, change "96xx" to "90xx". For ID, subtract 4 from the current value. In this example, the old ID is 14 and the new one is 10. Save and close Controller.ini.
Open prog15.8k.
There are two tags in this data file that need to be edited: <PRTNBR> and <CARD>. The best way to locate them is to use Notepad's Find feature (CTRL+F).
Change the "96xx" in <PRTNBR> to "90xx" and change the number in <CARD> to the number that was used for ID in Step 5. Save and close prog15.8k.
Open the project in ACR View. The project should open normally and and show a 9000 series part number in Project Info.
