			The computer for communicating the PLC unit is from year 2000, and running windows XP. It is running well so far. The goal for upgrading it to windows 10 and modern computer hardware can reduces the risk of hardware failure and outdated software. The computer is running DirectSoft, ABM commander, LookoutDirect, and a LabVIEW program to read old chart machines for LINAC status.

			A dell 7050 PC is used for the new pc.

			# DirectSoft6 is installed, but cannot establish communication to the PLC unit via ethernet yet.
			# ABM commander is installed and running no problem, can control/read-out the CoProcessor.
			# LookoutDirect, fail to be installed in windows 10.
			## the program is part of DirectSoft32, which runs in windows XP.
			## there is a USD secure key for the program to run. And a program to recognize the USB cannot be installed.
			# a LabVIEW program is not installed. Planning another way to read the LINAC status without the old chart machines.
