----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilcox Associates, Inc. PC-DMIS® Version 2009 Enterprise Metrology Solutions Installation Notes: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) General System Requirements 2) Information about this release 3) New Product Information 4) Release Notes **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** 1) General System Requirements Minimum Requirements:------------------------------------------------------- | | | • PC-DMIS® 2009 operates under 32-bit and 64-bit (x64) WindowsXP® systems | | and 32-bit Vista Business®. No other operating systems are supported. | | • Pentium-IV or higher processor is suggested. | | • 2 GHZ XEON or Intel processor. | | • 2 GB of RAM is recommended but significantly more may be required if | | working with large CAD models. | | • 1 GB of free hard drive space minimum for the application. | | • SVGA capable monitor. | | • DVD drive. | | • USB port available. | | • The computer must have a graphics card that supports OpenGL shading. | | We cannot specify an exact graphics card since every user has varying | | needs. However, nVidia is the preferred graphics vendor for PC-DMIS. | | • Nvidia GeForce video cards are not recommended for use with PC-DMIS. | | This is defined as a "gaming" card according to Nvidia Engineering. | | • Supports a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 or higher. | | • RTF file output requires Microsoft Word to be viewed. | | • Microsoft® .NET 2.0 | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Minimums:------------------------------------------------------- | | | • WindowsXP® 32-bit or 64-bit and 32-bit Vista Business® operating | | systems. | | • 2 GHZ or higher Duo-Core processor for improved performance. | | • 4 GB of RAM or higher. More RAM may be required if working with large | | CAD models. You should have RAM equal to 8 times the size of the | | largest CAD file you will use. (For example, if you use an IGES model | | of 250 MB, then 2 GB RAM is recommended.) | | • 2 GB of free hard drive space plus allocated Virtual Memory of 8 times | | the largest CAD file used. | | • SVGA graphics card that supports OpenGL shading and that has WHQL | | certified drivers. On board video card memory should be based on the | | size of CAD file being used. | | • For use without CAD models, 64MB video memory. | | • For small to medium CAD files (50-100 MB), 128 MB video memory. | | • For large CAD files (> 100 MB), 256 MB+ video memory. | | WHQL (Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs) video drivers can be | | downloaded automatically when using the Windows Update software. | | • SVGA capable monitor. | | • DVD drive. | | • 2 USB ports available. | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- • NOTE: Depending on your specific needs, the recommended system specifications for this version of PC-DMIS may be much higher. A more substantial computer system may be required to accommodate part programs using Automation or complex Reporting objects. Be sure to consult with your PC-DMIS distributor to find out the type of computer system you will need in order to run this software at its optimum capability. • IMPORTANT: When using 3rd-party drivers you should contact your local Hexagon representative to ensure Operating Sytem compatibility. • ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE: The Sophos® Anti-virus tool was used by Wilcox Associates Inc. while testing PC-DMIS. The performance of any other anti-virus tool will need to be confirmed by the user. (http://sophos.com/products/enterprise/endpoint/security-and-control/) • INSPECTION PLANNER: You may need to recreate the IPD file for needed parameters so imported Inspection Plan items are created correctly. **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** 2) Information about this release. We at Wilcox Associates are proud to bring you this new version of PC-DMIS® 2009. This Enterprise Metrology Solutions platform brings together new aspects of PC-DMIS® for the development of a complete manufacturing process control solution. Available in this release are variations of PC-DMIS® designed to assist with every aspect of the fabrication and quality control process. The newly created packages include PC-DMIS® Laser, PC-DMIS® NC, as well as the established PC-DMIS® Pro, PC-DMIS® CAD, and PC-DMIS® CAD++ platforms. Also included with this release is PC-DMIS® ONE, a simplified shop-floor DCC inspection package developed in cooperation with Brown & Sharpe. The testing of this version has been significant. We’d like to take a moment to discuss this process and also make you aware of the various components of testing. Testing is comprised of two parts. These can be described as functional testing and integration testing. The vast majority of testing effort goes on in the functional area. This is the testing that determines that specific functions that are core to the software, regardless of what type of machine is used, are working correctly. The integration testing is essentially a testing of the interface with a particular type of machine. In the ideal scenario, WAI would have access to at least one of every piece of hardware that is operating in the field running PC-DMIS®. However, in practical terms, this is impossible. This integration test plan is then performed on as many types of machines as we have available. Unfortunately, there will inevitably be machines to which we do not have access and that cannot be fully tested in this manner. To this end we have made an effort at closing this gap by partnering with our customers through the Beta Test Program. On our web site you will find an application for this program here: http://www.wilcoxassoc.com/usersarea/beta_test_application.php We urge you to consider signing up for the program as it provides the mutual benefit of helping us create the best product possible for you, our customer. Should you experience problems with your system after installation of PC-DMIS® 2009, it could possibly be an integration problem. If it is a problem of this nature, it will probably be evident immediately upon first use of the possibly untested configuration. Should such a problem materialize, you will be given the highest priority for correcting these problems. Please call Tech Support immediately to report any integration problems. For existing users of PC-DMIS who currently have earlier versions of PC-DMIS® installed, it is advised that PC-DMIS® 2009 be installed into a new directory. In this way, you can be assured of continuous use of the existing version should problems arise with this newer version. **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** 3) New Product Information (Note: EMS products remain in Early Adopter stage until formal release of each is announced.) • WAI Toolkit - Allows for the creation of custom commands in PC-DMIS ---------------------------------------Major Enhancements--------------------------------------------- 1) New Section Cut Scan 2) True Position In-Between 3) Highlight Feature from Edit Window in Graphics Window 4) New Layer Management Dialog 5) SpacePilot Support 6) Area to Datum Target 7) UI Control for Animation Speed 8) Clearplane and Machine Volume Visualization 9) Protected Mode ****************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************** 4) Release Notes Version 2009 of PC-DMIS is a significant development release of the software.
