Using dSPACE software can be dangerous. You must observe the following safety instructions and the relevant instructions in the user documentation.
Using the AutomationDesk software can have a direct effect on technical systems (electrical, hydraulic, mechanical) connected to it.
The risk of property damage or personal injury also exists when AutomationDesk is controlled via an automation interface. AutomationDesk is then part of an overall system and may not be visible to the end user. It nevertheless produces a direct effect on the technical system via the controlling application that uses the automation interface.
Only persons who are qualified to use dSPACE software, and who have been informed of the above dangers and possible consequences, are permitted to use this software.
All applications where malfunctions or operating errors involve the danger of injury or death must be examined for potential hazards by the user, who must if necessary take additional measures for protection (for example, an emergency off switch).
It is your responsibility to adhere to instructions and warnings. Any unskilled operation or other improper use of this product in violation of the respective safety instructions, warnings, or other instructions contained in the user documentation constitutes contributory negligence, which may lead to a limitation of liability by dSPACE SE & Co. KG, its representatives, agents and dSPACE Group companies, to the point of total exclusion, as the case may be. Any exclusion or limitation of liability according to other applicable regulations, individual agreements, and applicable general terms and conditions remain unaffected.
The shutdown procedure of Microsoft Windows operating systems causes some required processes to be aborted although they are still being used by dSPACE software. To avoid data loss, the dSPACE software must be terminated manually before a PC shutdown is performed.
