Unitronics documents

[stembera]

Hello world,

some years ago there was possible to download a complete Unitronics documentation for all Vision products in one package. Now I tried to find updated version but I did not succeed. Is there some way how to get it?

Thank you very much,
Michal.

Hi Michal! Apologies for missing this post.

Do you mean the Hardware Documentation?

Hi guys,

I might be mistaken but I think Michal is referring to what was available via "Unitronics_Library.zip".   (I may have renamed this!)  The last time I downloaded shows as January 2015 and it was around 160Mb.  It sets up a folder called Documentation\Manuals & Specs within the main Unitronics program folder, and it has heaps of useful info....all in one hit.   The current system only lets you download a particular file for each model or subject....very tedious.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

cheers,

Aus

We no longer publish this because people would install the "Library", not update it, and then use outdated specs, which created problems.
However, if a user requests it, we can provide the "Library" via ftp - with the understanding that that it contains the documents current at that point in time.

Thanks Cara, I understand the reasoning. 

To get around the "outdated" issue, I would think it would be easy for your super programmers to come up with a little script that could accompany said Library, or even incorporate a "check for updates" button that could be included in the startup folders.  Those who download it could then routinely run the check, and it could check all the documents in the local file and just update the ones that have changed.  I use the library as my "ready reference" system and it is a great thing.

cheers,

Dear lady and gentlemen, thank you for the explanation. Yes, I referred the Unitronics_library.zip . Now I see, it is gone. OK, I downloaded all the single pdf files from the web page. No problem.

It is certainly possible. If I get more requests, I will submit a feature request. The HW docs now live in a management system, for reasons having to do with standards, and this co,pmlicates matters. When we originally set up the HW Library install, the docs lived in a network folder, which made it very easy for us.
