Most are of good Beta quality and even Release quality and have been in use at W1TR for a few months or more.

 

The following are URL Links to *.zip files and *.msi files (Microsoft Software Install files)

Earlier software was created using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010, C# .NET 4.0.

More recent software was created using Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019, C# .NET 4.7

The format of the name is:  Application Name, Version, Date, Time (local Eastern Time).

 

Download by right clicking on the URL, use save target as <filename>

Or, left click on the link and then save as

Install the download by double clicking on the downloaded setup.exe inside the ZIP file, or *.msi file when not in a ZIP file.

Troubleshooting

If you get a runtime error message, you might need to download one or more of these redistributable files from Microsoft:

1)      Microsoft Office Access database engine 2007

2)      Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 – Tools for Office Runtime

3)      Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) 12.0.21005

4)      Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable 10.0.30319

5)      Microsoft .NET 4.7

 

If the install package refuses to run

1)      Right Click on the install package executable file (in File Explorer list)

2)      Select Troubleshoot Compatibility

3)      Try Recommended Settings

4)      Click Test the Program

5)      Click Next

6)      Select Yes, Save These Settings for This Program (if this was successful)

7)      Click Close

 

If the installed software refuses to run

1)      Same as above, but Right Click on the Desktop Icon for the application

 

If the software appears in the Task Bar, but the GUI is not visible, it may be off screen

1)      Right Click on the Task Bar.

2)      Select Cascade Windows
ALL the open windows will be cascaded from upper left to lower right.

3)      This is a PITA, but you WILL find the missing application.

 

If the software starts and GUI appears, COM port is connected, but information from the ATU does not display and cannot be controlled

1)      Check http://www.palstar.com/en/hf-auto-boards.php to see if your HF-AUTO has the latest circuit board that allows remote control
Sometime prior to 2014 there was an older circuit board that does not enable remote operation of the HF-AUTO using the HF-AUTO-R.
