No other operating systems are supported. - Pentium-IV or higher processor is suggested. - 1 GHZ or higher Intel processor. - 512MB of RAM is recommended but significantly more may be required if working with large CAD models. - 500MB of free hard drive space minimum for the application. - SVGA capable monitor. - CD-ROM 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. Recommended Minimums: - 32-bit Windows2000 or WindowsXP and the 64-bit (x64) WindowsXP systems. - 2 GHZ or higher Intel processor for improved performance. - 1GB 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.) - 1GB 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 small CAD files (less than 50 MB), 32MB video memory. - For medium CAD files (50-100 MB), 64MB video memory. - For large CAD files (> 100 MB), 128MB+ video memory. WHQL (Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs) video drivers can be downloaded automatically when using the Windows Update software. - SVGA capable monitor. - CD-ROM drive. - USB port available. - Supports a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024. - 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. ****************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************** 2) Information about this release. We at Wilcox Associates are proud to bring you this new version of PC-DMIS® 4.2 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 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® 4.2, 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 4.2® 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.
