We at Wilcox Associates are proud to bring you this new version of PC-DMIS® 3.7. 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® Vision, 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 the following pages you will find an application for this program. 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® 3.6, 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 3.6® 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) Beta Test Site Agreement Form As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the quality and ease of use of PC-DMIS®, we would like to actively involve our key customers in the development cycle.
