VIOSO 6 Integration
With the release of version 2.0.14X, we are now updating the integration for camera-based calibration from VIOSO 5 to VIOSO 6.
VIOSO 5 is still integrated, but this solution is no longer installed automatically.
As of this release version, only VIOSO 6 will be installed automatically.
Customers who successfully use VIOSO 5 and wish to continue doing so will not have to make any changes, but the path to the VIOSO calibrator must be redefined once.
When PIXERA is started, it then detects which license is available and loads the correct calibrator when VIOSO is called up in PIXERA.
IMPORTANT NOTE
With the release of Version 2.0.14xx PIXERA contains only the installer for VIOSO 6.
If VIOSO 5 is needed and no old Pixera version is installed, please additionally install Pixera 2.0.65 to have VIOSO 5 available
VIOSO 5 - End of Support
Existing and ongoing projects with VIOSO 5, such as fixed installations will continue to be supported.
However, this support service will end on December 31, 2024
For further extensions of this support please contact pro-sales@avstumpfl.com
For new projects there is no VIOSO 5 support service from PIXERA.
Likewise, only VIOSO 6 can be selected via the hardware configurator.
Licenses
VIOSO in PIXERA only works if the Pixera license dongle also contains a VIOSO license.
Dongle stacking - i.e. using a PIXERA dongle and a VIOSO dongle on the same system - is not supported.
PIXERA detects on startup the VIOSO license and select accordingly the correct integration
This automatism needs the correct paths set in the settings of PIXERA to start the correct calibrator. In PIXERA 2.0.14X by default VIOSO 6 is set as standard calibrator.
Pixera 2.0.14X first installation on one system
In the probably rare case that someone has never installed Pixera on a system and now wants to use a PIXERA license with VIOSO 5, a PIXERA version prior to 2.0.14X must be installed in addition to the installation of PIXERA 2.0.14X.
This is necessary to have all VIOSO 5 files available on the system - VIOSO 5 is not available for PIXERA as a standalone installer.
This can be easily done via PIXERA hub
The path to the calibrator must also be adjusted afterwards.
In case your PIXERA licenses contains VIOSO 5 and you want to upgrade to VIOSO 6 please contact pro-sales@avstumpfl.com
Compatibilities
VIOSO 5 Calibrations (.vwf & .sps files) are upwards compatible and can be used in VIOSO 6 without limitations
Exported VIOSO 6 Calibrations (.vwf files) are downwards compatible as long as they are exported without “Blacklevel Compensation”.
