User Guide Installation

These instructions are for Windows-based PCs and assume a working knowledge of Windows and general workstation setup procedures.

CyScan

The user guide for CyScan is installed as part of the typical installation process, so no further action is required from the end user. This user guide is immediately accessible by selecting 'Help | General Help...' in the main CyScan window. Alternately, the user may point a web browser to the "%CYSCAN_HOME%/guides/index.html" file to manually load the CyScan User Guide.

The latest version of this user guide is also available from the Cyberware web site.

We suggest that the CyScan user guide be read in its entirety. Then the user should proceed to the Tutorials section of the user guide in order to duplicate the examples there and gain experience in scanning.

headus Tools (CyDir, CySurf, CySlice, etc.)

This section describes the installation process for the various headus software user guides and how to access those user guides after installation. The headus software user guides are located on the Cyberware Installation CD in the user_guides folder and are not automatically installed, rather the user must install them. Note that all of the headus software user guides are always available in their latest form on the WWW and may be downloaded directly. Please contact Cyberware Support for the user name and password to access the on-line user guides.

To install the headus software guides, follow this procedure:

  1. Acquire the user guide files using one of the methods described above.
  2. Select 'Start | Programs | headus | About 3D tools'. This will open the headus 3D tools Control Panel:
    3. [headus 3D tools]
    3D tools Control Panel
  3. If necessary, click the Proceed to License Manager button in the headus 3D tools window.
  4. Click the green Install User Guides button at the bottom of the window.
  5. Using the file dialog, navigate to the folder that contains the user guide files (*.tgz) from the Cyberware installation CD or downloaded earlier in this procedure.
  6. Double-click a user guide file to decompress and install the necessary user guides to a folder, as defined below:
    • Windows 7: 'C:\Users\[you_user_name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\headus\www'
    • Previous Versions of Windows (NT/2000/XP): '...\Program Files\headus\lib\'
  7. Repeat this process as many times as necessary in order to install the user guides that you require.
  8. When you have finished installing the user guides, click the Exit button to close the headus 3D tools Control Panel.
  9. Continue to verify the installation.

There are several methods that may be used to access any locally-installed headus user guides. All user guides are supplied in HTML format.

  1. Point your preferred web browser to the appropriate folder and open the 'index.html'.
    • Windows 7: 'C:\Users\[you_user_name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\headus\www'
    • Previous Versions of Windows (NT/2000/XP): '...\Program Files\headus\lib\'
  2. Any headus program that has a 'Help' menu will also have a menu item, 'User Guide'. Simply choose 'Help | User Guide' and the guide will be loaded into a web browser.
  3. For those headus programs that do not have a 'Help' menu, simply click on the blue title bar of the program, then choose the blue button, View User Guide.
