I have an old-style Graph-Tech Controller with the proprietary cards in a Desktop or Rack PC and I need to upgrade to a Windows 10 and SuperTracker system. How do I do it?
To have a smooth transition from old GT controller to the New Super tracker, please carefully read the following Quick Start Guide.
All connections must go 1 to 1, this means all cables will connect in the same place:
Old GT controller Super Tracker
Print-Go 1 Print-Go 1
I/O 1 (1-4) I/O 1 (1-4)
Encoder 1 Encoder 1
And so on and so forth
Serial connections

Network adapter configuration.
Configuration for Windows 7 on old controllers and NUC’s.
There are two network adapters in the controller or NUC; both needs to be use for the configuration:
LAN1 192.168.198.XXX or 193.168.198.XXX for inkjets and/or peripherals.
LAN2 192.192.192.191 to Supertracker.
If customer needs a third network adapter for data transfer, customer must use a USB-NET adapter.
Configuration for Windows 7 or Windows 10 on Blue Fin controllers.
On these controllers there are four network adapters and they are configured as follows:
Network adapters are already configured as follows: (from left to right)
⦁ 192.168.198.XXX to Inkjets or peripherals
⦁ 193.168.198.XXX to Inkjets or peripherals (EZ Inkjets)
⦁ Factory customer dedicated network adapter
⦁ 192.192.192.191 to Supertracker.
Editor GT license must be declare as SuperTracker.
After all requirements has been met, we are able to run Editor GT.
If all configurations are correct, in the SuperTracker screen, in the right bottom corner, a small rectangle named “Connected” will lit. This will confirm communication between controller and SuperTracker.
