Offload Calculation Server (SuperBox) Manager
Access: Open this function from the following location:
-
Cimatron Control Panel: Select Start > All Programs > Cimatron > Cimatron Control Panel.
Select Utilities > SuperBox Manager.
The Offload Calculation Server (also known as SuperBox) enables the automatic offloading of NC toolpath calculation tasks from all Cimatron seats in a network, thereby freeing up resources of individual work stations. The calculations may also be accelerated, depending on the hardware of the individual work stations.
The types of calculations that are offloaded are as follows:
-
NC Toolpath Calculations: A toolpath is a sequence of one or more machining procedures performed in a given set of milling axes. A toolpath may consist of 2, 2.5, 3, 4, or 5-axis procedures.
Calculation tasks are offloaded to the computer where the Offload Calculation Server is installed, allowing users to perform other tasks on their individual computers without any delays.
The Offload Calculation Server cannot be installed on a computer where Cimatron is installed, and vice versa.
The SuperBox Manager is an interface to connect your computer to one or more SuperBoxes. You may use the SuperBox Manager either as a User or as an Administrator, depending on your permissions.
The SuperBox Manager dialog is displayed:
