SIMI°Motion 4.x

Calculation module: Enter file names FAST with drag’n’drop!

Normally the user enters the file names in the calculation dialog box by clicking the small button on the right of the edit boxes and selecting the file.

Alternatively you can start the explorer (or the file manager of Windows 3.1) and open the folder where your files are located.

Drag (using the left mouse button) the specification file (*.spz), the points file (*.p or .pp) and if necessary the calibration system file (.koo) from the explorer window to the corresponding edit box on the calculation dialog box. The file name will immediately appear in the edit box.

Hardware / software / download tip

In this column you will find interesting tips to hardware or software products from other companies that are used together with SIMI products. Examples are: Information on video cameras, overlay cards or computer peripherals.

Manipulated Pentium II processors on the market

At present, forgers specialize in Pentium II with 266Mhz which they offer as 300MHz. Various retailers sell these manipulated processors - in most cases even without knowing. The forgers take advantage of the fact that many processors can be run at a faster clock rate for at least a certain amount of time.

With the Pentium II 350, Intel proposes another new lucrative business idea to the forgers: The difference in price between the 350 and the 333 models is at present a feasible US$129. To turn a 333 into a 350, they only need to change two resistors on the CPU module.

A test program that checks the clock rate can be downloaded from the web site () of the German c't computer magazine.

The editors say that end users should contact their local dealer in case they find a manipulated CPU, since it can cause calculation errors or even burn-outs.
