Expert is the engineering software for creating a CMC project. An executable package for the
production and upgrading of machines can be generated from this project with the
"Deployment" function. The package contains a configurable sequence of production or
upgrading steps and the associated data.
In Expert, the configuration of the package, the dialog boxes for operator interactions, and the
individual upgrade steps in the form of a hierarchical step tree are defined and the data and
files that are required or will be manipulated are specified.
The configuration can only be performed by qualified personnel.
The majority of the settings can be easily made via a context-sensitive context menu.
A source explorer (similar to the Windows Explorer) is integrated for the integration of files in
the components. Files can be either copied or linked. Linked files are only accepted in the
package at the time of deployment.
Before a Verification of package, you will be informed if there are any errors in the configuration.
The "Deployment" function creates a package that can be executed under Linux or Windows
depending on the configuration.
An integrated online help (F1), which is identical to this documentation, supports you in the
correct configuration.
