At the beginning of 2024, visionCATS 4.0 will be released and we will soon provide you with further information about new features and improvements.
The release of the new version will impact the life cycle of certain older products and their support.
With the release of visionCATS 4.0, we discontinue the support for the following products:
visionCATS versions before 3.0 are no longer compatible
- It won’t be possible to directly update from version 2.5 and older. It is still possible to update, e.g. from 2.5 to 3.0 and then update to 4.0 or higher
- It won’t be possible to import files exported from versions before 3.0
- Qualification documents will refer to the latest version of visionCATS and instrument firmware. With this, the qualification with versions before 3.0 is no longer in line with regulatory guidelines, from our point of view.
TLC Scanner 3
- It won’t be possible to control the TLC Scanner 3 from visionCATS 4.0 on
- The TLC Scanner 3 is set to “End of support” in the SI14-034
- Spare parts are available as long as on stock or identical to the ones for TLC Scanner 3
TLC Visualizer (1st generation)
- It won’t be possible to control the TLC Visualizer (1st generation) from visionCATS 4.0 on
- The TLC Visualizer (1st generation) is set to “End of support” in the SI14-034
- Spare parts are available as long as on stock or identical to the ones of TLC Visualizer 3
