This manual provides an overview of the iDimension® App installation, configuration and operation procedures. i Manuals are available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems at www.ricelake.com/manuals Warranty information is available at www.ricelake.com/warranties
The iDimension App is a Windows application designed to send dimensions, weight, barcodes and other data acquired by an iDimension system to an active third-party program (Microsoft® Excel® or an online shipping form) using configured hotkeys (Section 3.2.4 on page 11). Values are transferred from the iDimension system by placing the mouse cursor in the active thirdparty program and pressing a configured hotkey on the connected keyboard.
The IP address of the iDimension system is all that is needed to connect the iDimension system to the iDimension App (Section 3.2.4 on page 11). The dimensional data can then be saved in a local directory along with a JPEG image and XML status file for each item dimensioned.
NOTE: Administrative privileges are required to install iDimension software on a Windows® computer. When interfacing the iDimension App with a third-party program, reference the software manufacturer’s documentation for setup and configuration.
1.1 System Requirements
The iDimension App application requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later version, which can be installed on any Windows computer that supports it.
NOTE: System requirements are subject to change without notice.
Prerequisites: · Operating System Windows 7 or newer, 32-bit or higher · Processor Intel Pentium Dual Core or better · RAM 1 GB or higher · Storage Available space of 20 MB, or significantly more if images are retained · iDimension system connected to the network with IP address configured and identified
