Step-by-Step Programs
Opening The Programmer
| When logged into CardinalKinetic.com, your dashboard will include a link to the Programmer. Select “Programmer” to continue to the InoWorx Programmer. Ensure pop-ups are allowed and begin programming. |

Allowing Pop-Ups
|
Arriving to the InoWorx Programmer, you must first please allow us to utilize a pop-up. This is due to the fact that pop-ups are how our Connect App is able to transport your application from the InoWorx to the InoDrive. Not allowing it will prevent the application from being loaded onto the module. Methods vary for allowing pops ups from browser to browser, but we have created a list of the most common browsers and how to allow pop-ups. |
|
|
Chrome: When you attempt to launch the programmer there will be a notification which explains that you currently have pop-ups blocked. In order to allow them and proceed to working, first click the icon which appears in the far right side of your search bar as shown in the image to the right. Select “Always allow pop-ups…” then “Done” then “Close”. Your browser will reload the Programmer and you may then begin programming. Alternatively, if you would like to do this preemptively, then in a new Chrome tab visit “chrome://settings/content/popups” and add programmer.cardinalkinetic.com to the allowed sites list. |

Microsoft Edge: When you attempt to launch the programmer there will be a notification which explains that you currently have pop-ups blocked. In order to allow them and proceed to working, first click the icon which appears in the far right side of your search bar as shown in the image to the right. Select “Always allow pop-ups…” then “Done” then “Close”. Your browser will reload the Programmer and you may then begin programming. Alternatively, if you would like to do this preemptively, then open Edge and click the three-dot menu button on the top right of the browser window, and then select “Settings.” Next, click “Cookies and Site Permissions” in the sidebar, and then select “Pop-Ups” and redirects. Leave the “Block” switch enabled on the “Pop-Ups and Redirects” page. Instead, we’ll be allowing pop-ups for only certain sites. Further down the page, click the “Add” button in the “Allow” section. In the pop-up window that appears, type or paste programmer.cardinalkinetic.com, and then click “Add.” |
