Vision Software Operation
This section describes the steps required to establish communication with the XDS Process Analytics
Instrument. It explains how to run set-up diagnostics, and run routine instrument assessment
diagnostics. The Vision Software Manual provides information on quantitative and qualitative
operation.
Communication between the computer (with Vision Software loaded) and the XDS instrument may
be handled in one of several ways. The most common method is Direct Connection using DHCP
Addressing. Alternatively, the instrument may be run on a network using a patch cable. A separate
document describes the specific steps in establishing communication.
Once the direct connection or network issues are finalized, the user may work through this section
for software setup.
1. Install Vision on the computer to be used
for instrument operations.
When installing, the user will be asked to
select between XDS or 6500-series
instruments. Select XDS.
Once installed, enter the C:\Vision
directory, and double-click on the file
named
Vision.exe. The log-in box appears on the
opening screen.
It is suggested that the user create a
shortcut on the desktop for ease of entry.
2. Enter the default User ID, “NIRS”. It is not
case-sensitive.
Tab (or mouse) to the Password box, and
enter the default password, “NIRS”.
Note that you should set up specific User
ID and passwords for each authorized
user. Do not operate on the default User
ID, or you will be in violation of CFR 21,
Part 11, where applicable.
