The path specifications in GPM_XXX.ini and GP_CAD.ini are relative specifications. If the GP Manager is located on a server and is executed by all workstations on the server, the paths do not need to be changed.
However, it is also possible to use absolute paths if desired. In this case, the inlay.ncp can be stored on any computer that is accessible from both the CAD workstation and the milling machine.

The calibration files for the measuring systems are stored in the KAL folder. If you receive a pressure measuring plate back from calibration, the calibration file must be inserted into this directory.
The calibration files for the inner shoe measuring systems are also stored here.
With GP Manager V7, the design of the GP Manager has been adapted for touch screens. Skins were introduced for this purpose. This folder contains the images and the INI files for the
The scripts and configurations for the individual milling machines are stored in this folder. You can see which INI file is used in the file .\GpSystem\GpSystem_Einzelplatz\GpFraese.ini.
In the [Milling] section, the value after I_AktFraese indicates the preselected milling cutter. For example, if there is a 6 and the value of T_Fraese_6 = GPM_101, then you must search for the file GPM_101.ini in the folder .\GpSystem\Fraese. This contains the settings for the milling machine. Among other things, you can change the path for milling files here. You should then also edit the GP_CAD.ini file. This is usually located in the single workstation. If the same path is not specified here, the milling machine will not find the file.
These folders contain the inlay and moulding libraries.
The GP Manager offers the option of setting up individual workstations. After installation, the single workstation .\GpSystem\GpSystem_Einzelplatz already exists. There are INI files in each folder for a standalone workstation. When starting, the GP Manager first searches the folder of the standalone workstation to see if an INI file exists. If no INI file with the name is stored here, the corresponding INI file is loaded from the .\GpSystem\INI folder. This means that the settings of the individual workstation overwrite the default settings.
This allows you to load a GP Manager installation with different settings at startup. For example, if you use different measuring systems (e.g. pressure measuring plates with USB and Bluetooth), you can load the appropriate individual workstation for the measuring system at startup without having to adjust the settings each time.
This is particularly important if you operate the GP Manager as a server and various clients start the GP Manager from the server. For example, if you have several measuring booths and a milling workstation. Individual settings can be loaded for each workstation.
To create a single workstation, the .\GpSystem\GpSystem_Einzelplatz folder is copied and pasted into the .\GpSystem folder with a different name. For example as .\GpSystem\GpSystem_MesskabineLinks. The corresponding INI settings for this room can then be made in this folder.
In order for the GP Manager to recognise the single slot, the single slot is entered in .\GpSystem\INI\GpMan.ini.
[GpMan.ini] I_Akt_Auswahl = 0 PATH_SYSTEM_0 = GpSystem_Einzelplatz // Standard single workstation PATH_SYSTEM_1 = GpSystem_MesskabineLinks // Left-hand measuring cabin
Attention: Make sure that the numbers are consecutive. It should also be ensured that no number appears twice. The text behind the two slashes appears in the selection menu for the individual seats when the GP Manager is started. The value I_Akt_Auswahl specifies the single place that is selected at the start. In the example above, this is the default single place.
You can create a link to load a single location directly. To do this, enter the following in the properties of the link after the GpMan.exe folder/pt GpSystem_Einzelplatz in. Adjust the corresponding individual location.
The GpSystem folder contains all system files for the GP Manager.
The folders in which the GP Manager writes the data must be configured so that the computers using the GP Manager have write authorisation. This is particularly important if the GP Manager is installed centrally on a server and clients only start it from there.
In the case of unspecific errors, you should always check whether the GP Manager is authorised to write in these folders.
The GP Manager saves the binary data (pressure measurements, scans, photos, videos, etc.) and milling files in this folder.
The folder is divided into .\GpData\GpBinaer and .\GpData\Fraese for better organisation.
If the GP Manager is to be installed locally but the data is to be saved centrally, the path must be changed.
The easiest way to do this is to create a file with the name Sys.ini in the ./GpSystem/INI folder. The following content is written to the file:
[SYS] PATH_DATA = \\SERVERNAME\Share
After the GP Manager has been restarted, the successful setting can be checked via "GP Admin" -> "About GP Manager" (Status: 31.05.16, DATA always displays C:\Temp\GpTemp\GpSave, even if the correct path is set).
All measurement data is saved in this folder. Each user is assigned a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). This corresponds to the folder name. The folder contains the measurement data (JPG, AVI, chnk, ...), as well as a skeleton.txt in which the information on each measurement and the customer data are stored.
The milling files are stored in the Fraese folder.
The GP Manager saves temporary information in this folder. It can happen that the C:\Temp folder does not have write permissions for security reasons. In this case, it must be ensured that the folder C:\Temp\GpTemp is created and has sufficient rights so that the GP Manager can access it.
