Intro and History
Supravision was designed by Homer Eaton and Foad Rekabi of ROMER in the 1980s. It originally began as a DOS program, then migrated to Windows. When it was redesigned for Windows, Foad decided to keep the DOS SV look and feel in the Windows version.
In 2011, ROMER CIMCORE - A division of Hexagon Metrology, began replacing sales of Supravision with DOCS software.
Supravision File Format
|
You can load any Supravision file into any text editor to view the data. |
|
Supravision Network Protocol
Both the DOS and Windows versions of Supravision use several protocols. The most prominent is Supravision Network protocol. We commonly refer to this protocol as "SVNET." (We pronounce it S-V-Net.) See Supravision Network Protocol
Supravision Filename Standard
|
All Versions (3, 4, 5, and 6) |
|
|
Older DOS Versions (3 and 4) |
LONG PART NAME TESTED ON SV4 is saved as ...\parts\LONG&PAR.---\T&NAME&T.---\ESTED&ON.---\&SV4.$$$ on the systems using DOS versions 3 and 4. The actual filename is "&SV4.$$$." The rest of the filename is retained in the folder structure. |
|
Windows Versions (5 and 6) |
LONG PART NAME TESTED ON SV6.$$$ is saved as ...\parts\LONG PART NAME TESTED ON SV6.$$$

Converting Filenames with SVFILE
Our SVFILE Converter Software converts the older style filenames into Windows style filenames automatically.
See SVFILE for download information.
