Getting to know the software

The S-VD (Voting Display) software module

The S-VD software module allows you to display voting results as bar or pie diagrams, for example using a projector or several large screens in the conference room.

For this, you also need the S-MM and S-VM software modules.

The IM (Interpreter Management) software module

The IM software module is the software you require in order to configure, monitor and control the interpretation system from your PC. With the IM software module, you can:

yconfigure all parameters of the interpretation system,

yoperate the interpretation system and monitor the status of the interpreter consoles,

ysend short text messages to the interpreters.

The licenses

When purchasing the software, you also purchase licenses for one or several software modules. All licensed software modules are activated automatically when you install the software.

You can upgrade your license(s) at any time to include additional software modules (see “Upgrading the software license” on page 108).

Note:

If you license additional software modules, the corresponding menus and buttons appear automatically. Please note that the menus and buttons of all software modules are shown in this manual – including those for which you have possibly no license.

The dongle

When purchasing the software, you also receive a dongle (hardware license key). This dongle releases all licensed software modules for use on all PCs in your network and must therefore be inserted into a free USB port (or parallel port) of the master PC.

If the dongle is not inserted at startup, the “Hit CR to abort:” dialog box opens (see “Starting the “Confsys”program for the first time” on page 18).

If the dongle is inserted but cannot be detected due to the program configuration, the “Waiting for master...” dialog box opens (see “Setting the correct starting options” on page 19).
