Installation of Light@Night demonstration
software:
The PC-Software Light@Night can be used in connection with
the Interface LI-LPT on every PC with a Windows 32-Bit
operation system.
Windows 32-bit Operating
system
Windows 95, 98, Me, NT,
2000, XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8
/ 8.1, Win 10
CPU Intel or AMD from 300MHz
clock frequency
Working memory 64Mbyte RAM
Interface to the Light-
Interface

If you want to run the Light@Night PC-Software together with
a model railway control software (e.g. Railware, WinDigipet,
TrainController or iTrain) on your PC you have to attend to
some strict specific requirements, because the control
software as well as Light@Night PC-software need some
system resources.
In this case please find out the system requirements of your
model railway control software and attend to the specific
instruction.
In a doubtful case it could be considerable to use a second
probably older PC exclusive for Light@Night.
In case of a common operation of Light@Night PC-software
and a model railway control software the following PC-system
requirements are necessary:
Windows 32-bit Operating
system
Windows 2000, XP, Vista,
Win 7, Win 8 / 8.1, Win 10
CPU Intel or AMD from 800MHz
clock frequency
Working memory 256Mbyte RAM
Interface to the Light-
Interface
Printer connection port (LPT)
Together with the Light-Interface LI-LPT you received a CD-
ROM containing the Light@Night PC-demonstration
software.
This demo-software enables you to test the Light@Night
hardware without the complete version. There is a substantial
difference to the complete software version. The light outputs of
the demo-version offers only light effects for “Glühbirne”
(incandescent lamps) and “Blinklicht” (flashing lights).
The complete version of the Light@Night PC-software for all
light effects (neon lights, gas street lamps, flashing blue lights,
light chains, traffic lights and many others) including a manual (in
German language only) is available by company Railware
(https://railware.de).
For the installation of the demo-software please insert the
supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer:
•The installation program will start automatically. In case
the function “auto start” has been set to “off” on your
PC please start the program “Execute…” at the
Windows start menu and enter the following line
(without sign): ´d:\setup.exe´. Please replace the letter
`d` with the letter-code of your CD-ROM drive.
•Follow now the instructions of the installation program.
•Enter the directory where Light@Night shall be
installed. Recommendation:
´C:\Program\LightATNight´.
•The following installation will run automatically.
•Finally please restart your PC.
For your first trials you can find a complete sample of the Light-
Display-Module on the screen after the restart of LightAtNight.
As first step please check if the correct parallel interface has
been set at the PC-software for the Light-Interface LI-LPT.
Therefore please click at the menu bar on “Options” and on
“Interface”. The window “Interface Hardware”will turn up. You
can select now the parallel interface between LPT1 and LPT4
under which port you have connected the Light-Interface LI-
LPT.
Before you are switching-on the transformer for the supply of the
Light-Display-Module you have to connect an incandescent
lamp or a LED with serial resistor to the output 2 of the Light-
Display.
Further information for the wiring of incandescent lamps
and light emitting diodes can be found within the operating
instruction of the Light-Display- respectively Light-Power-
Module.
Now switch-on the transformer for the supply of the Light-
Display-Module and click at the menu bar on “Start“.
The model incandescent lamp respectively the LED connected
to output 2 will flash now continuously.
By clicking on “Stop” the flashing will stop and you will be again
at the entry mode of the PC-demo-software.
To get use to the extensive possibilities of the Light@Night
PC-Software the software offers detailed help files. You can call
the help file with “F1” and read the paragraph “Operating the
Software” and “Configuration”.
The complete version of the PC-software will be supplied with
a manual which describes all light effects and possibilities for the
PC-light control Light@Night in detail. From our Web-Site at the
section “Downloads” you download the manual.
