Q. I couldn't find anywhere on the web site that listed which Operating Systems are supported with PeakHMI?
A. XP to W10, including XP embedded, excluding Windows CE. Really also runs on W2000.
Q. Also it appears that the “Recipe” function only supports XLS file storage?
A. The HMI supports recipes via XLS (Excel) or ODBC.
See the user manual under Recipes/ODBC or Recipes/XLS (Excel)
Q. I'm looking at purchasing a barcode reader From IFM which I believe is OPC compatible. Can peakHMI communicate directly with this sensor?
A. PeakHMI has an OPC client included so it should be able to access it.
PeakHMI also includes an ODBC driver so it can log data to a MSSQL database.
Q. I assume once a purchase has been made you are given a download link and a serial number is emailed?
A. No, a download link and we ship you a USB flash drive.
Q. Can PeakHMI run as a service
A. No. Workaround is to get windows to autologin and put peakHMI in the startup folder
