To start Inspect, click or press the Windows Start button.
Type Inspect 5.1.
Click the Inspect 5.1 shortcut to start the software. (If you are an administrator, you can run PC-DMIS as an administrator in order to change add-ons and certain settings.)
If you are running Inspect for the first time, follow these steps:
At the Welcome to Inspect screen, choose an add-on that matches your metrology package and version.
For Other Add-Ons, choose any additional add-ons you want to use.
If you have used Inspect before and are running Inspect after it has updated to a new version, follow these steps:
At the Welcome to Inspect screen, your previously-selected metrology package and version are pre-selected. If you need to make a change, you can do so now.
For Other Add-Ons, your previously-selected add-ons are pre-selected. If you need to make a change, you can do so now.
For a description of the available add-ons, see the "The Add-ons Screen" topic.
Once you have selected the initial add-ons, click Start Using Inspect to install the add-ons you selected onto your computer.
Once Inspect finishes the installation of the base add-ons as well as the add-ons you selected, the Home screen appears.
Later, when you run Inspect, if you run PC-DMIS first, you must run Inspect with identical privileges. If you don't run with identical privileges, Inspect and PC-DMIS won't be able to communicate properly when you attempt to execute measurement routines. For example, if you run PC-DMIS first with standard privileges, you also need to run Inspect with standard privileges.
