IDS Pop Up Box

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys:

 

Maybe one of you has an answer to this: Since my last IDS update, I keep getting a pop up box labeled "Manual Calibration Update". It has a button in the center labeled "Update Calibration/Tech Tips" and wants to go on the internet to get updates. I click the button and it goes online and updates. The weird thing is that this pop up box comes about every day, which I don't think is normal. Do you guys get this pop up?

 

Thanks!

To configure your updates....select System utilities/then Network Options/then Scheduler Configuration/then where it says Check for updates every days....change it from 1 to a max of 30 days.

It will now bring up the pop up every 30 days. You will need to do a manual update whenever you wish.

Very good tip.... one of those that, as soon as we read it we slap our foreheads and utter "DOH!!!".

 

Thanks, Zman.... now that I'm not staring at the trees, I can see the forest... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

I don't think i would want to set it for once out of 30days. I like to keep updated so I leave mine to every few days. It only takes a minute or so to perform. good insurance

Dustin, a few years ago, we got a bad disc that took both our WDS down for a couple of days before we got things right.... I remember this all too well....

 

Now, at days end, I alternate IDS (we have two). Today, I might run a manual update on IDS 01 and, tomorrow, I'll do the same to IDS02... and keep alternating like that.

 

If we have something come up like 07S49, I grit my teeth and do both but only after the first updated machine has completed one task.

 

FWIW, we have two IDS and two PDS (along with some old stuff I keep handy) for 8 guys... we still have the odd wait time or I can swap a guy with an IDS for a WDS or NGS if required...

Two IDS and two PDS for 8 guys! Lucky bastard. We have one IDS for 10 guys. No wonder I am putting my own together. Still waiting for my VCM... ordered 8 weeks ago!

neener - neener - neener....

 

The biggest hurdle is showing the top dog the need for tooling... remember that he is already p*ssed at drop shipped tools....

 

If you can demonstrate lost productivity due to inadequate tooling, you should be shoe in for additional units....
