IC-Inspection 5 UsersΒΆ

If you’ve upgraded from IC-Inspection version 5 to version 6, here are some quick things that you should know:

  • All grids in version 6 work in the same way. Once you’ve learned one of them, you’ve essentially learned them all. (Exception: There are a couple of grids where the new multi-edit feature doesn’t work.)
  • The window manager has been replaced with the same panel manager used in NEXUS IC 6’s Inspections screen. See the overview for more details.
  • The Events toolbar is gone — use the Event Launcher and/or shortcut keys set up through Event Templates instead.
  • The Events pane is now called Active Events.
  • The Assets window no longer has a column to show the number of remaining tasks. If this is a feature you use, configure one or more Traffic Lights for it in NEXUS IC.
  • Asset information is now editable in IC-Inspection, if the user has that security permission.
  • Text overlay is now part of Devices. Text Overlay Server is gone, as text overlay functionality is now incorporated directly into IC-Recorder (and some other third-party DVRs).
  • The following windows are removed: CP Stab, Operation, Survey Charts, Video, Video Recorder. (If you want video preview, just run an IC-Recorder.)
  • Task Information has been moved to be part of Database Information.
  • Pipeline View (and Pipeline View Secondary) are to be replaced with the all-new 3D pipeline view.
  • We now support 3D DWG drawings. (Bear in mind that large 3D DWGs may be slow.)
  • Support for third-party DVRs such as NETmc DVRi and VisualWorks has been ported forward from version 5, but has not been field-tested. If you are using a third-party DVR, you should test its integration with IC-Inspection 6 far enough ahead of your inspection that if problems emerge, we will have time to fix them, possibly in coordination with the DVR vendor.
