Jim, 

I think I found the solution. In the configuration wizard it's possible to convert the correction table from .xml to a scanlab file.
So I'll try as possible and then I'll write you if it's ok!!

Maybe I need an USB connection to the EC1000, but the vendor never gives me the right datasheet for the I/O module. So i'm writing him to ask about this.

Thank you very much for your rapid answers.

Francesco

Francesco,

the .hex file is not really needed when you use UAPI-emulation, but you have to
set it to satisfy the RTC4-plug-in. For the correction file situation is a bit
different, I think you have to set it. But I don't know if you have to specify
the .xml file or a .ctb file converted out of the .xml file from CTI. May be
CTIs manual gives some information here?
