 Information about the data structure of CALYPSO 5.6
Quick guide data importer

The data structure for CALYPSO 5.6 has been ad-

apted to the Microsoft Standard. All user files are
now separated from the program files.
With the data importer you can easily import your
existing data into the new structure.

Structure of CALYPSO 5.6

The working directory The program data

All of your user files can be found in the
CALYPSO working directory.
Depending on the operating system, the
working directory can be in a different location.
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO
Windows 7:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO
Depending on this directory, you will find your
most important data here in the “workarea“
subdirectory.
If you have not entered another installation
directory during installation, you will find your
program data at “C:\Program Files(x86)\Zeiss\
CALYPSO 5.6“. Do not save any of your own
data here.
Further information
You can find further information about this on
the CALYPSO DVD, under “Info“ in the
“CALYPSO_directory_structure_EN.pdf“

The data importer

The data importer copies your existing user files

from an older version of CALYPSO to the new
CALYPSO directory structure.

2
Operation

When CALYPSO is started, the data importer only
appears if an older version of CALYPSO is, or
was, already installed on the computer. By doing
so, the data importer does not allow your files to
be transferred from the same version, or a newer
version.
If the data importer is displayed, it is visible until
you have imported your files once, or you have
selected “Do not show this dialog anymore.“
When you import your files, they are only copied
and not moved or deleted. Your old files are not
lost.
Files outside the Windows program directory
“C:\Program Files“ are not copied into the new
directory structure. E.g. external measurement
plans on a network.

The following data can be imported:

The configuration of your CMM. E.g. your measuring device type and the
CMM data
stylus system data.
The measurement plans. Other data, such as actual values, base systems,
Measurement plans
AutoRun data, macros, etc.
Results The reports and table files.
Various templates and program settings. E.g. templates for printout headers
Templates and reporting, tool kits, Q-DAS configuration, CALYPSO toolbar, naming
conventions, default measurement strategies, etc.
User data The CALYPSO user accounts with their settings and privileges.

 Important Note about
data structure
The data importer only transfers CALYPSO data
into the new CALYPSO directory structure, not
the path information for the measurement plans
or other files within it. These have to be manually
changed by the user. You are supported in this
job by CALYPSO.
Amongst others, a list of measurement plans that
need to be checked and changed if necessary
will be displayed upon finalizing the data import.
Example:
If you access a measurement plan per PCM
formula to the earlier work directory in CALYPSO
5.4 “C:\Programme\Zeiss\Calypso\home\om\
workarea“ you must update the path information
manually yourself. E.g. to “C:\Users\Public\Docu-
ments\Zeiss\CALYPSO\workarea“ (Windows 7).
When opening the measurement plan, the paths
contained in the plan will be displayed to you.
The displayed dialog will help you in this job.
Programs which access CALYPSO data, such as
the option FlexReporter or qs-STAT, may also
contain path information that you need to
update.

Parallel operation of CALYPSO 5.6 in combina-
tion with the ZEISS products given below, the
following must be observed:
GEAR PRO
Due to the changed directory structure, ope-
ration of GEAR PRO 4.0 and older GEAR PRO
versions in combination with CALYPSO 5.6 is not
possible.
Operation of GEAR PRO and CALYPSO 5.6 is
possible as from service pack GEAR PRO 4.0.2 or
the version GEAR PRO 5.0 onward.
MCC
Due to the changed directory structure, ope-
ration of MCC 3.1 and older MCC versions in
combination with CALYPSO 5.6 is not possible.
Operation of MCC and CALYPSO 5.6 will be pos-
sible from the future version MCC 3.2 onward.
FACS
The FACS automation interface is customized to
each customer‘s needs and may be affected by
the changed directory structure.
Before operating CALYPSO 5.6 with your FACS
application, you should contact our support
team.
Information for parallel installation
as from CALYPSO 5.6
CALYPSO is a single-user application. It cannot be
installed on a network and used as a client-server
application.
In order to install CALYPSO you must have full local
administrator rights.
Installation of CALYPSO 5.6
If you are performing an update of an
existing CALYPSO installation, the existing
installation should be uninstalled first.
Existing data such as measurement plans, probe
data or other CMM-specific data will not be
deleted by uninstalling CALYPSO. However we
still recommend creating backup copies of your
data at regular intervals.
Uninstall is performed using the Windows
uninstall function. In Windows, click on “Start“
and select “CALYPSO“ via “Settings\Control
Panel\Add or Remove Programs“ and then click
on “Remove“.
New: In order to comply with the Microsoft
recommendations for separating programs and
corresponding data on Windows 7 systems the
installation of CALYPSO resides in the following
folders as from version 5.6:
User data:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO
Programs:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Zeiss\CALYPSO 5.6
Program data:
C:\ProgramData\Zeiss\CALYPSO 5.6
If the existing CALYPSO version is not uninstalled
first, CALYPSO 5.6 will be installed alongside the
existing version, thereby enabling alternative
usage of both versions.

Installation Procedure

When the DVD is inserted, the installation rou-
tine usually starts automatically. If this is not the
case, use the Windows Explorer to select
“CALYPSO.exe“ on the DVD and start the
installation by double-clicking.
Following the prerequisites the CALYPSO setup
is unpacked and the software license agreement
is diplayed. By accepting the terms of the license
agreement the setup may be continued.
The CALYPSO setup automatically recognizes
whether an older version is already installed and
will proceed to show the following dialog:

Select ‚Install‘

If you wish to install the new CALYPSO version

in addition to the existing version you will have
to confirm taking note of the safety precautions
mentioned above in order to continue with the
setup.

Follow instructions Please refer to all notes regarding the instal-

and click „Continue“ lation in chapter 1.2.

CALYPSO 5.6 will automatically install Windows

Installer 4.5, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, .NET
Framework 4.0, SQL Server 2008, a PDF printer
set, Zeiss License Activation Utility and the Zeiss
License Manager 1.8.0.0 as prerequisites should
these not already be available on the target sys-
tem. This usually requires several system reboots
and can take a long time (especially the .NET
Framework).

Caution

Pay close attention when using multiple

versions of CALYPSO alternately:

• When using the automatic stylus system
changer please consider the increased danger
of getting stylus systems mixed up! After
switching versions make sure that the currently
selected stylus system in CALYPSO is actually
mounted in the probe before calling the auto-
matic changer.
• Check for correct path settings when using
external evaluation programs which access
CALYPSO data.
• Parallel installation of more than one version of
CALYPSO in combination with the METROTOM
Measuring Module is not permissible.

• Measurement plans saved with a new

CALYPSO version cannot subsequently be
opened with an older version. Pay attention
to warning messages.
