In advance of the SIM, please setup your workstation(s) as outlined below. We recommend setting up and testing workstations at least a week in advance to allow time for troubleshooting, if necessary.
Step 1: Confirm Minimum Requirements
Operating System: We are only able to deliver the SIM using the Microsoft Windows operating system
Hardware (PC) Requirements:
CPU: 1GHz Intel processor, or faster
Memory (RAM): 8GB
Monitors: Two 19” monitors w/ 1280 X 1024 (4:3) or 1440 X 900 (16:10) resolution. Please note that two monitors are required – one to display the data entry screen and one to display the image viewer. The SIM will not function properly if only one monitor is used.
Minimum Internet Connection Requirements: At least 20 megabits; Ensure your speed is appropriate via the Speedtest.
Browser Requirements: Download the latest production release of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Please note that the SIM does not run on Internet Explorer.
Allow Cookies: Ensure your Microsoft Windows operating system is set up to allow cookies.
Enable JavaScript: Enable JavaScript in Mozilla Firefox or enable JavaScript in Google Chrome.
Step 2: Download and Install the Image Viewer (Visage, Thin Client)
For programs already using Visage at their institution: Check the Visage version number that your institution is using. However, we recommend to install/reinstall the latest version of the Visage Thin-Client. If your institution is using a different version number, please contact us for alternative options.
Note: All previous versions of Visage must be uninstalled, before installing the newest version of Visage.
Step 3: During the “Client Login” Process, Fill in the Server Name Only (http://widiview.xray.ufl.edu/)
Server Name: widiview.xray.ufl.edu
Do not fill in a User name or Password.
Select “Auto Launch” hyperlink to proceed to the next step
Step 4: During the “Auto Launch” Process, Check the Applicable Boxes
“Start Auto Launch Server when I log into the system”
“For All Users”
“Run Auto Launch Server (server is currently running)”
Select “Ok” to proceed to the next step
Step 5: Open Google Chrome or Firefox browser on your SIM workstation (Internet Explorer is NOT supported)
Click on any of the cases to automatically launch the image viewer
Confirm that the image viewer launches and that cases are scrolling properly with no lag or latency
Step 7: Reset the System For Each Resident
After each resident completes the SIM, clear the cache on the workstation and then completely reboot the system so that it’s ready for the next resident to take the SIM
