Virus scanners on dual-processor version

NC FAQ1089

Question:

Can virus scanners be used on the two-processor version of the iTNC 530?

Answer:

Yes; however, you should only use virus scanners when no NC program is currently being run. HEIDENHAIN recommends using virus scanners either just after switching the control on or just before switching it off.

Reason: As a rule, virus scanners operate with real-time priority under Windows, taking a large share of system capacity. Under certain circumstances this could lead to not enough system resources being available to the TNC, limiting its ability to run NC programs.
