AKV is pleased to announce that there is brand NEW software available for Arriel 1 Cycle Counters. The updated software is for use with all of our Engine Cycle Counters.

AKV worked closely with SAFRAN France to demonstrate the cycle counters ability to accurately conform to their new Arriel 1 cycle counting algorithm through extensive testing. The new software incorporates the latest change to the free turbine (Np) partial counting criteria. Existing Cycle Counters in the field must meet a min Rev D which is identified by the existence of (2) pushbuttons on the side of the device, marked as "screen" and "reset". Cycle Counters which only have the "reset" button must be returned to AKV for an upgrade which includes the Free Turbine (Np) wiring interface.

Availability as follows:

• Validated software upgrade. Cost is per cycle counter serial number and includes a Validation Certificate
• Upgrade to the Cycle Counter. Cost is per cycle counter. It incorporates the Np interface and includes the Validated software and a Validation Certificate

As part of our ongoing efforts in the product improvement department, AKV has also redeveloped the Ground Support User Interface (UI) programming software used as part of the original kit, P/N CC-GSE. The NEW software is much easier to use and provides a better interface when used with Windows 7 and 10 64-bit operating systems.

The new Ground Support (UI) software is now shipped with all new programing kits. Customers wishing to upgrade their existing programming kits can do so for an additional charge. The upgrade kit includes a new USB adaptor and software CD. This price does not include the Validated Linear software which must be purchased separately.

The Ground Support (UI) provides:

• Easy to use interface.
• Easy to load new values.
• Easy to load program revisions.
• Compatibility with Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10.
