1. 1.1
There are two basic operation modes for the operation of TruTops: TruTops in PDM mode In PDM mode, all TruTops data (drawings, templates, sheet layouts, etc.) is stored in the file system and additionally monitored together with its properties and dependencies. This allows certain data to be searched for easily, quickly and efficiently. Due to the management of dependencies, all references between files are retained even after copying or moving them (e.g. sheet layout drawings). Detailed information about the PDM is provided in the software manual for the TruTops product 2. TruTops in file system mode All files are stored in the file system without additional monitoring. Only Windows' customary search options are available. The following table shows both of the modes and their characteristics:
PDM mode Database File access Access by ToPs 100 lite/ToPs 2000 Access by external programs Management of dependencies Parts search according to characteristics Licensing (dongle) Network (MS SQL Server)
File system mode Network (MS SQL Server) Windows Explorer yes yes no Yes, slowly

Installation variants
There are different ways of installing TruTops. The installation primarily depends on whether TruTops is to be used as a single workstation on one computer or with several TruTops workstations in the network.

A client can also be installed on the server computer. However if the client installed on the server computer carries out intensive computing tasks, it can lead to a power loss (e.g. during nesting). This makes it more difficult for other clients to access the server data.

2. 2.1
A number of additional system components are required in order to use TruTops. During the installation, the system checks whether these components have been installed. If not, they are installed automatically. The installation process is displayed on the screen. Restart The computer automatically restarts after a few components are installed. For this installation process, you should be aware of the following: Unsaved data is lost after a restart. All open files and programs should thus be closed before the installation. If the installation is being carried out on an active server, appropriate precautions must be taken for the server restart.

List of components
Information The table contains all components available on the installation DVD along with a brief description and installation notes. The components that are actually installed depend on the installation and the operation mode. They are displayed during the installation process. The components are listed in the table in alphabetical order. The actual order during the installation is displayed on the screen. The installation of some components requires user intervention. These components are described separately(see section 2.3, p. 14).

FirePDM
In order to use TruTops PDM, it is necessary for some of the TruTops PDM applications to communicate with other computers in the network. All access is monitored and unknown applications are denied access if a firewall is installed. Windows has its own system firewall, which is active in the default settings. Installation A check is made during installation to determine whether the operating system has a firewall of its own. If so, the following mask appears:
