Software validation and

verification

Publication information

MTS software is developed using established quality practices in accordance with the requirements detailed in the ISO 9001 standards. Because MTSauthored software is delivered in binary format, it is not user accessible. This software will not change over time. Many releases are written to be backwards compatible, creating another form of verification.

The status and validity of MTS’s operating software is also checked during system verification and routine calibration of MTS hardware. These controlled calibration processes compare the final test results after statistical analysis against the predicted response of the calibration standards. With these established methods, MTS assures its customers that MTS products meet MTS’s exacting quality standards when initially installed and will continue to perform as intended over time.

About the Model 493.04 PC-Per-Station Kit

The Model 493.04 PC-Per-Station Kit allows you to use up to four PCs with one controller––in effect, you may use one “PC-Per-Station.” This ability to have a separate computer and monitor for each station simplifies window management and station operation.

Kit contents The Model 493.04 PC-Per-Station Kit has three variations:

• 2-PC Kit (PN 052-531-501)

Includes: (2) switches, (2) network adapters, (5) 25’ cables

• 3-PC Kit (PN 052-531-502)

Includes: (2) switches, (3) network adapters, (7) 25’ cables

• 4-PC Kit (PN 052-531-503)

Includes: (2) switches, (4) network adapters, (9) 25’ cables

Note These kits do not include PCs. The PC-Per-Station Kit may require

additional customer-supplied network adapters in your computers.

Network Requirements

PC Hardware Requirements

Each PC and Ethernet adaptor must meet the following requirements.

PC requirements For current PC requirements, see the “README” file in your current system

controller software folder.

Ethernet adapter

requirements

All Ethernet network interface cards used in each PC must have the TCP and IP CRC off loading feature, and that feature must be enabled in the driver.

Ethernet Cable Requirements

Cable specifications 10BaseT–at a minimum uses “Category 3.”

100BaseT–at a minimum uses “Category 3.”

100BaseTX–at a minimum uses “Category 5.”

The [nominally] 100 ohm cable impedance should be between 85 and 115 ohms and have at least two twists per foot. 100Base-TX uses two pairs of Category 5 UTP or two pairs of 150 ohm shielded balanced cable. With 100Base-TX one wire pair is used for transmission, the other pair for collision detection.

1000Base-T [Gigabit Ethernet]–at minimum uses four-pair Category-5, UTP [Un-Shielded Twisted Pair] 100-ohm, copper wiring. This is backwards compatible with 100Base-TX.
