REGISTER WITH OMAX You'll need to register for access to the Omax site at

https://auth.omax.com/user/register

and create a password with the usual mix of uppercase, lowercase, number and punctuation. You'll be asked for two serial numbers for our machine:

  • Table serial number: S15085019
  • Pump serial number: P210008
  • and a zip code: 70118

Select "Create Account" and provide your tulane.edu address and a password with the usual mix of uppercase, lowercase, number and punctuation.

You'll receive an e-mail requesting confirmation; open it and "activate" your account.

If you have trouble gaining access (many people do), send a note to andrew.steinhebel@omax.com


INSTALL THE SOFTWARE: WINDOWS 10 ONLY Once you can login to the Omax site with your new account, go to

https://resource-downloads.omax.com/Software

and login again. You'll get a page that lets you download the Omax software, called IntelliMAX.

On the pull-down,

  • select Intelli-MAX
  • then GlobalMAX
  • then Windows 10 (it's the only choice)
  • then Released
  • and finally English.

You should see a download arrow that looks like an arrow pointing down from a cloud. Click on it, and a 482M zip file file will transfer; extract it and see a single ~494M Application in the directory. Double click to install. The usual "Software Installation Wizard" will pop up; click Next, Next and "Configure as an offline / desktop PC" Accept the license and the default installation directory.

After a restart, there will be a desktop icon for Omax MAKE. Launch it and follow these instructions: File:Registering IntelliMAX Software Online-1.pdf They are a bit out of date; registration is done completely online rather than with the phone call referenced in the handout.
