NYVIP2 MESSAGE No. 219
DATE: 10/4/2016
TO: ALL INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM: OPUS INSPECTION INC

SUBJECT: NYVIP2 SOFTWARE UPDATE
PLEASE BRING THIS MESSAGE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE STATION OWNER AND/OR MANAGER

A NYVIP2 software update to version 16.07.08 will be rolled out to all Emissions Inspection Stations beginning October 4th. You must accept and load the new software when it is available on your NYVIP2 Computerized Vehicle Inspection System (CVIS).

Software Version 16.07.08 Improvements and Functionality

• Messaging added to vehicle inspection receipt notifying the motorist to check safercar.gov for open recalls
• Improved DMV 1D registration barcode and 1D VIN plate barcode reading
• Improved station messaging via NYVIP2 unit (supports PDF messages)
• NYVIP2 camera functionality to capture an image of the inspector at the beginning of the inspection and to improve inspector verification and security for inspection stations.

Camera Functionality
As you were advised in NYVIP message 93, and in the installation instructions that came with your NYVIP2 CVIS, a connected camera is a required part of the CVIS configuration. All NYVIP2 CVIS systems were delivered with a web-camera as part of the required equipment.

After downloading the new software, if you receive an error message that the camera was not detected during the inspection, simply connect your camera to avoid future error messages. Please visit www.nyvip.org to review the detailed “Camera Installation” instructions under ‘Forms and Downloads’. Or call Opus Inspection at 1-866- 623-8378.

Note: Actual use of the camera is not required at this time to conduct inspections. If you cannot connect your camera because it has been misplaced or lost, you may simply hit “Continue” when you get the error message to complete the inspection. Contact Opus if you have any questions.

UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIAL-UP STATIONS
Broadband internet connections are preferred however, if your analyzer communicates using a dial up connection, you must leave the analyzer powered on overnight on the Main Menu with the phone line connected. Updates received via dial up connection will be received overnight when the phone lines are less congested.

NOTE: Software updates using dial-up connections will take longer. How long it will take depends upon your phone line performance and connection. We recommend that you check your phone service contract and understand charges you will incur due to long connection periods that are common with NYVIP2 software updates over dial-up.
