Japanese term or phrase: 一括変換の起動
I'm translating a software guidebook. 「一括変換の起動」is a title of a chapter. It seems this is one of the functions of the software. Is 'Starting-up the Conversion System' good enough for this translation?

Thanks for your help. I decided to use 'activating' in stead of other words, because it seems the most proper for this context.

Kurt¥'s reference is a perfect example of the confusion that reins with these different terms.

It¥'s also full of will¥'s and unnecessary passives--fair too typical of what passes for computer documentation these days.

My clients use 起動 for powering up the prototype board, starting/loading/launching the debugger running on the development host (Windoze), and setting up the serial link joining the two.
