Calibration Manager: Calibration Databases and Synchronization
Each Prinect server has a local calibration database. This is where administration of the calibration data created locally in the respective Calibration Managers is done and the data are made available to the RIPs for calibration.
Furthermore, each Prinect server is capable of accessing the central calibration database of a Calibration Tool. In this case, the central calibration data are available as read-only files to the Calibration Manager of the Prinect server for calibration of jobs.
In the Calibration Manager of the Prinect server, an option helps you decide whether you would like to work with local or central calibration data.
Synchronization of the central calibration database, that is, transfer of the central calibration database of Calibration Tool to the Prinect server is automatic and time-controlled or manual. Remote synchronization is also possible from Calibration Tool if Calibration Tool is connected to a Prinect server through the device context setting.
Description of the "Database" tab
In the "Administration > Database" tab of the Calibration Manager of the Prinect server, you set up the database you want and how synchronization will be.
You see this tab only after the relevant license file is installed successfully:
•For the Prinect server: Create the license file on the Prinect server.
•"Use Local Database" option: You work solely with local calibration data and have no access to the central calibration data.
•"Central Calibration Server": If you wish to work with the central calibration data, you must enter the name of the central calibration server in this box (computer name on which Calibration Tool is running).
•"Use Central Database" option: You work solely with central calibration data that are read-only and have no access to the local calibration data.
•"Use Central Database for Process Calibration, Local Database for Linearization" option:
This is a mix: You have solely full access to local calibration data for linearization. You have solely read-only access to central calibration data for process calibration.
Synchronization
Synchronization is the copying of central calibration data to the Prinect server.
There are two methods of synchronization:
•"Automatic": Synchronization is automatic, running at the period you set (in the list box below this option).
•"Manual": Synchronization is manual. This means that you click "Synchronize Database" whenever you want to synchronize.
