238 | | With Proteus, each version of each 3D design system has to be mapped to ISO 15926-4 individually. (You can think of this as making a decoder ring for a specific version of software.) But as more software vendors get on board, and as EPCs and Owner/Operators with proprietary sty ems get on board, the number of decoder rings in existence grows. Eventually, or so the proponents of Proteus say, we will be able to simply pull the appropriate decoder ring off the shelf and perhaps just tweak it a bit, instead of having to develop it from scratch. Over time it will become easier to adapt an existing "decoder ring" to any particular project. |
