                   General

 

Please browse this manual with the internet browser “FireFox®”.

·       Start the file “Index.htm”.

·       Via the web: www.3dhistech.com/data/pssm/index.htm

 

·       After some modifications in the layout handling, now other browsers may be used as follows:

 

 

            Desktop and laptop computers

 

                         Windows7® 64bit

·       The layout was tested with Google chrome®, Safari® and Opera® also and works.

·       With other operating systems and browsers tests are not performed, but it may work also.

 

 

            Tablets and android

                       

                         Android 4.0 ICS ®        (Ice Cream Sandwich)

 

·       For best results, please use on tablets and androids, Google chrome®.

·       Some preinstalled browsers for android have difficulties to display the navigation window’s content correctly (found beside the vertical center of the opened main page)!

                        The reason is unknown, might also be, only some options or settings of the browser should be modified.

                        In such cases, the search function works, and you may find the required chapter via “SEARCH” also or select via CONTENTS.

 

 

 

 

                   Browser settings

 

 Important

Often it’s very helpful to clear the content of the browser’s cache, if you have difficulties to open the website or to handling the manual or parts of it, even after updates are performed.

·       Please clear the browser’s cache if a new version should be started after downloading or upgrade!

·       Please clear the browser’s cache and start the browser and the manual again!

·       Because the online manual is expanded and updated continuously, we recommend clearing the browser’s cache after start! Detailed information about updates of the offline manual can be found in the chapter “Version update history”

 

Important

·      If the browser shows a corrupt file, it means, the file download had an error, please clear the browser’s cache, close the browser and start the manual again!

·      A transmission error occurred. This error was detected some times during downloading of videos only.

·      This error message may also occur, if the video player is not or wrong defined or is not able to play mp4-file format!

 

By “overriding automatic cache management”, a larger buffer size may be defined and so, the flow of the video may be more smooth!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allow pop-up windows

 

 

 

·       Uncheck the option “Block pop-up windows” or

                                    Allow the website 3dhistech.com separately, explicitly.

 

·       Check the option “Block pop-up windows”

·       Press “Exceptions”

·       Copy the address of our website into the field “Address of website:”

·       Press “Allow”

·       Close the window with “Close”

·       Close the dialogue “Options” with OK.

·       Restart the browser

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         Check java script enabled state

 

The manual requires java script to run!

If any difficulties exist, please check the value of “javascript.enabled”; it has to be in the state “true”.

 

1.      Type in the command line the text:         about:config                       and press Enter

2.      Scroll the shown parameter list, until     javascript.enabled            is found

3.      By double click in the line of the parameter, the Boolean value changes from false to true and vice versa.

·       Set the option          javascript.enabled   to “true”

·       Start the manual again

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                   Requirements

·       Internet browser FireFox®, Google chrome®, Safari® or Opera®

 

  • Internet connection                                   to link external articles
  • Adobe® Acrobat® Reader                        to read internal and external files in PDF-format.

Control of the manual

 

Logo; Type

 

If the option “Home” is selected, the logo of the company is shown; otherwise, the selected scanner type is shown. Momentarily further options are not defined.

 

Title

 

This part contains the name of the description; it has no further options.

 

 

 Type graphics and type menu

 

The scanner type selection consists of the graphics part and a drop down menu (Type menu).

By selecting the desired scanner type (or chapter) in the drop down menu, the graphics above will be updated, according to the selected chapter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 “SEARCH”

 

The button “SEARCH” consists of a push button and by pressing it, a new tab or a new page will be opened by the browser.

 

·       To return to the previous description (before “SEARCH”) please use the appropriate tab in the browser or easily close the tab (or page) “Search”.

·       The text field of search is case sensitive; it means, the search text e.g. “usb” and “USB” will deliver different search results!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

                   Search result

 

The search result link table lists all the chapters (*.htm-files) of the folder “… website/descriptions”. By click on a link, the chapter will be loaded and opened in a new window or tab of the browser.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                   Found occurrences

 

The program shows all occurrences of the search text in yellow color; the first occurrence is shown in the top line of the main window.

·       During searching on the server, the yellow background of the found occurrence needs a bit more time until it occurs!

 

Automatically, the “Find Next” dialogue will be opened; this way, further occurrences in the opened file can be found quickly (these are shown in blue background color).

 

·       If the dialogue “Find Next” should no more occur, please delete the content of the field “Find what:” before closing.

 

 

 

“TREE”

 

The button “TREE” is used as a toggle button and expands or collapses the entire tree structure in the window “Navigation”.

If pressed, it changes its inscription "<TREE>" into “>TREE<” or vice versa and the option “expand tree” or “collapse tree” is executed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Navigation

 

 

 

  The content of the window “Navigation” is selected by the drop down menu “Type” and can also be used as an expandable Contents list.

By clicking a closed item, shown with “+”, the tree will be expanded, by clicking an opened item, shown with a “-” the relevant sub-tree will be closed.

 

By clicking a lowest level item, shown with “§”

·       The linked chapter will be displayed in the main window.

·       The clicked item is shown in bold and

·       The page indicator will be updated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·        By right click onto a lowest level item in the navigation window and selecting the option “Copy Link Location” the link address to the appropriate chapter will be copied and may be send to a college via e-mail or Skye by using the option “Ctrl v” in the appropriate text line.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Main window

 

The content of the main window contains the appropriate chapter and is selected by the clicked item in the window “Navigation”.

 

·       Links, opened from the window “Main” will be displayed in the main window or a new tab (or page) will be opened in the browser.

·       The windows can be sized as usual in windows; easily, drag the window border with the mouse.

·       By pressing “Ctrl” and scrolling with the mouse (as usually in browsers) text and images can be enlarged and reduced in size as required.

 

 

                   Images

 

·      Images with a small blue frame contain a link to the relevant chapter.

·      If the image contains the label “Movie” a video or slide show is linked. Easily click with the mouse pointer inside the image.

·      Movies are mainly used to make the construction and components visible from different views. By stopping the movie play (and later continuing), actual views may be shown for a longer time.

·      The resolution is always full HD and compressed in MP4-format; see also:         “Remark”

 

 

 

 

                Image zoom

·      To see more details on the image, an “individual zoom in” function of the image was realized since the version 2.17. Otherwise, if the text is more important, the image may be zoomed out without affecting the text size and the file position in relation to the main window, text scroll will not occur.

 

Actually, if the entire file is zoomed in or out (with “Ctrl” pressed and rotating the mouse wheel), the window dimensions are affected also and the text parts of the window will move away, because the text will also enlarging or shrinking.

To make the adjustment of the text size more flexible, the image size may be varied individually.

 

Realization

·      If the cursor stays over the text part of the file and the mouse wheel will be rotated, the traditionally scroll function of the browser is executed.

·      If the button “Ctrl” is pressed during scrolling with the mouse, the content of the screen will be enlarged (or reduced; text and images both) as usually in browsers.

·      If the scroll wheel of the mouse will be rotated (without pressing “Ctrl”) and the pointer cursor stays over an image, the image size will be affected, depending on the drive direction of the mouse wheel.

 

·      The original, starting size of the images will be reached if the chapter will be restarted from the window “Navigation”.

 

Zoom in

To use the function effectively, position the cursor near to the bottom left corner and rotate the scroll wheel of the mouse by moving your finger toward the screen. The bottom left corner will move to the left and downward, because the images are mostly placed on the right side of the screen.

 

Zoom out

To use the function effectively, position the cursor near to the top right corner and rotate the scroll wheel of the mouse by moving your finger away from the screen. The bottom left corner will move to the right and upward.

 

Remark

If the mouse has an integrated “Pan” function, the appropriate “Pan” button creates the same effect; it will also affect the image size!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Page indicator

 

The Page indicator displays the chapter path, based on the tree structure, last selected in the window “Navigation”.

 

·      If chapters are opened, linked from inside the Main page, the content of the page indicator will not be updated!

·      It remembers us, where we started our discovering tour.
