Description

Current Version

This area shows a list of all compatible versions of PC-DMIS that are installed on your computer. You can use any of these PC-DMIS versions with NC Server.

Notice

The software only lists versions of PC-DMIS installed on your computer that are compatible with the current version of NC Server.

Timeout

This box displays the maximum time that NC Server waits for a response from PC-DMIS.

If NC Server requests an action from PC-DMIS (such as analyzing data), and PC-DMIS does not respond within this timeout period, then NC Server assumes that PC-DMIS has hung or crashed. When this timeout expires, the software displays an error message that asks if you would like to restart PC-DMIS.

  • 3D PDF

  • Text
