![]() Keys are readily available too.Ģ) Once the virtual machine is created, VMware Player is used to open what we call an "instance" of a virtual machine. You can use a windows installation CD to create this virtual machine, or you can easily download a Windows XP ISO from the net it's not hard. ![]() Workstation is required to create a virtual machine from an ISO (in this case we would use a windows XP or 8.1 ISO). Installing VMware onto your base machine will allow you to run WMware Workstation and VM Player. Some us may need to run this software that is now ageing on any given OS.ġ) Load VMware onto what we now call your "base machine". So this is very applicable to running the Diagnostics software and connecting to Etecs (the "plant" in this case) via a USB to serial adaptor. We would always do this through a USB to X adaptor. We had to connect with various controllers via serial, Ethernet, and other proprietary connections (let's call these X). This is how we maintained our customer's plants whose random software was often old and compatible with only a certain antiquated version of Windows. ![]() The purpose of this write up is to illustrate a solution that will work across all 3 of the scenarios outlined above, and is exactly the approach we took at a large company I worked at as an electrical/ controls engineer. This thread is meant to handle the following scenario:ġ) New Windows OS's in the future may become incapable of running the Etec DI Diagnostics software.Ģ) MacOS platforms cannot run this software without some sort of virtualisationģ) Linux platforms cannot run this software without some sort of virtualisationįor each platform there is a work around, for example MacOS you can run Virtual Windows, and with Linux you can run Wine which I've read can be successful to varying degrees. Hi I am starting this thread to describe my experience running the Etec Diagnostics software on a platform other than Windows supported operating systems (OS). I have not connected to my motor yet as it is in storage, but will post results once April 2017 is upon us.
