Introduction

The Facility Inspection Tracking System (FITS) allows building inspectors to record observations made after a detailed visual inspection of room types such as classrooms, the room types' features such as walls, and the features' dimensions such as cleanliness. During the inspection process, inspectors can also use FITS to attach pictures of severe defects to their corresponding features. Inspectors will use FITS on a Tablet PC and will use the digital camera Canon PowerShot S410 Digital Elph to take the pictures. The FITS administrator will use FITS on a desktop PC to support the inspectors.

This document describes 5 procedures that you need to complete in order for inspectors and the FITS

Administrator to be able to use FITS.

After you have completed all 5 procedures, notify the FITS programmer so that the initial user

configuration can be set up.

The procedures are as follows:

1. Install MSDE.

2. Configure distributed transactions.

3. Install the local database.

4. Install FITS.

5. Set up the digital camera.

System Requirements

In order to install and run FITS, the following must be installed on the Tablet or desktop PC:

• One of the following:

� Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2003 or higher for a Tablet PC installation

� Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 for a desktop PC installation

• .NET Framework 1.1

• Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine

• Software for the Canon PowerShot S410 Digital Elph camera:

� digital camera software configured with the correct auto-download setting

� drivers
