You will need new firmware when moving from VENUS 4 to 6, but I presume you are already arranging that with your local support team. See below for other considerations
Methods:
- Methods written in VENUS 1,2,3,4,5 or VoV can be run in VENUS 6
- Note - some custom libraries may not be compatible - ASW 3.1 (obsolete), ASW Custom Vector dialogs (newer version 1.1.4 available) and Step Tracker (newer version 1.62 available)
- VENUS 6 methods (requires 6.0.2) can be opened in earlier versions, but it will error if it uses new steps like new complex IF/ELSE, complex assignment with calculations, stop timer, Sequence-Get Remaining Positions)
- VENUS 6 liquid classes will fail to open in previous VENUS versions. VENUS 6 liquid class dataset now incorporates a new field to allocate MagPip parameters
Operative System and SQL server:
- Compatible with Windows 10 or 11
- Compatible with SQL server express 2019
