Chapter 3, Vitals Hardware and Software: Vitals System Architecture
E.H. Wachs Part No. 79-MAN-04, Rev. I 11
System Requirements
Vitals Desktop 3.8.1 should
be compatible with Windows
Vista and XP. However, this
has not been tested and is
not supported, and E.H.
Wachs does not guarantee
compatibility. E.H. Wachs fol-
lows Window’s lifecycle sup-
port guidelines.
Vitals Desktop requires a Windows PC running Windows 7,
8, or 10, with a USB port. The PC USB port is used to con-
nect to the Vitals controller, or to connect to a flash USB
drive for Flash Transfer.
Vitals Mobile-TC runs on the TC-100 Tablet Controller.
The TC-100 is a Windows 10 Pro tablet with Vitals soft-
ware installed to control E.H. Wachs equipment and man-
age valve data.
There is a known issue with
Windows Mobile Device Cen-
ter (WMDC) in Windows 10.
The handheld controller may
not connect to your Windows
10 computer until you enable
WMDC. See “HC-100 not
recognized when connected
to PC” on page 193 in the
Troubleshooting chapter.
Vitals Mobile-HC runs on the HC-100 handheld controller.
The HC-100 is a Windows Embedded Handheld device for
operating E.H. Wachs equipment. Vitals Mobile-HC is also
compatible with older controllers such as the Trimble
Recon.
