Turbine Test and Demo Application

The Turbine Demo Application for software 4.2.x.x

The Turbine Test and Demo Application is a PC application that allows you play audio files directly from the Turbine station without any connections to a server. It also allows you to do audio recordings to be used for trouble shooting if there are issues related to audio in the Turbine station.

The client operates on two modes:

• Test Mode View
• Demo Mode View

Demo Mode required that an additional audio file package (vsf-demo-media package) is uploaded to the station. Test Mode will work without this package.

There are two versions of the Turbine Test and Demo Application. The new version works with Turbine software 4.2.x.x. The old version is for Turbine software version 3.0.x.x. In case you have Turbine with ver. 3.0.x.x, it is recommended to upgrade to version 4.2.x.x., and use the newest version of the Turbine Test and Demo Application.
