DOCS is a software package that is sold by Romer. The word "DOCS" means Data Overlay Camera System. Read more about DOCS at these sites:

Comparing DOCS to Supravision
Supravision and DOCS are developed by Romer. Supravision is an older program that is quite stable. The DOCS software is much newer.

DOCS Software |
Supravision Software |
|
Active - Continued development |
Static - No more development |
|
Allows for the measurement of tube data and non-tube data surrounding the tube - including brackets and other fabrications |
Measures only tube shapes |
|
Can use contact or non-contact measurement |
Can only use non-contact measurement of tube shapes |
|
Can measure multiple tubes in a single DOCS file |
Can measure one tube per Supravision file |
|
We have no experience with DOCS beyond a demo. It appears to be fairly simple to setup for tube measurement. |
Measuring tube shapes is simple after you understand the structure of Supravision menus. |
Our Recommendation
As of December, 2007, we have been given a license of DOCS software for evaluation and testing with our Benderlink software.
This software is moderately stable and is capable of Supravision network communications. In comparing the two packages, we recommend that tube fabricators choose DOCS over Supravision because of the new capabilities within DOCS.

|
A RECALL from a bender clears the results of a measure - so it is important to RECALL the latest bender data from the bender as a first step through Benderlink if the CLRA data in DOCS does not match the bender's LRA values. If the bender data has changed at the bender control before the current part is measured for correctness, then follow these steps:
|
|
2 - Be careful to confirm that the incoming data changed the CLRA section of the data alone (and not the nominal LRA). |
If a matching part number is found in memory in DOCS, then a bender data RECALLs only changes the CORRECTED LRA data. |
