Subject: RE: VIBS with Spyrus on non-Vibs
R4
BSNT-4-1-2 non VIBS R4, GEMS-1-18-4-1,
CM-0-2-10
Election mode
Select asterisk on Spyrus to create VIBS card.
Caution appears when voter card has been
read.
What is the
caution?
The
following error has been detected:
Error
initializing VGroup Select Dlg
Failed
to find data
OK
Touch OK and election screen with flag appears.
Insert a non VIBS voter card.
Instructions and following screens are magnified voter
card after voter card.
The only way back to a regular screen is the three
fingered salute, re-boot, (I tried WD-40 and it didn't fix
it).
Can you reproduce all
this? Tried two different Spyrus with same
results.
Please send me the
.gbf file for your database directly. Attached
Is this a VIBS database, or not? The database I have
is not, however Cathi's comments
As you are
probably aware, there are two cities hosting the TS demo
elections.
Here are the databases being used for the GA elections.
However, as
indicated below, they have been sent to the Omaha office for
VIBS
modification. After the databases were pretty much already done,
the
SOS in GA decided they wanted the vendors to provide a VIBS unit in
each
city. I don't have the equipment to do this so that is why the
DB's were
sent to Omaha.
Question: Will a voter card programmed VIBS with a
Spyrus inserted into a non VIBS R6 cause the same
condition?
There is no such
thing as a "non VIBS R6". They are all the same units. Only
difference is they keypad and headphones plugged in, and the software isn't
actually aware that they are in fact plugged in.
As to whether it
behaves the same on NT as on CE, I have no idea, but I would suspect the
answer is yes. Please try to get yourself an R6 as soon as one becomes
available. You are important to the testing effort. In the mean
time, some one in support will need to be assigned to test your database for
you.
If there is one VIBS out of 4 or 5 R6s in a voting
location and the voter puts a VIBS card into a non VIBS R6
will that R6 have to be re-booted?
Again, there is
no such thing as a non-VIBS R6.
Thank
you, did not know.
