How to Check the Current
WINDOW5 IGDB Version:
To determine the latest IGDB
versions of the records in the WINDOW5 Glass Library, go to the List View of the
Glass Library, click on the "Source" column heading (this forces the
records to sort by that field), then scroll to the bottom of the list and see
what the last records "Source" field is set to (it will be something
like "IGDB v. 15.3").
Updating the Glass Library:
(The instructions below assume either WINDOW version 5.2
or 6.1)
 |
First,
make sure you have downloaded the current IGDB (see
IGDB
download instructions) which will result in the
new Glazing.mdb file being placed in the LBNL Shared directory
(see next step). |
|
|
In
WINDOW, in File/Preferences, go to the Optical Data tab, and set
the first option, IGDB or IGDBUpdate, to the IGDB file, which is
called Glazing.mdb
-- you can browse to the file with the Browse button (it will be in
Program Files\LBNL\LBNL Shared directory).
|
|
|
Next, go to the
Glass Library List View, click on the Import
button, set Format to IGDB or Optics User Database as the format,
and
click OK.
WINDOW
will open the IGDB file (Glazing.mdb) and you will see
ALL the glass layer records for the entire IGDB.
NOTE: If you
leave the Format set to "Window 5 Database" and then browse to
the IGDB Update.mdb file, you will get an error message saying "Not a
valid password"
 
|
|
|
The program will open the database set
in File/Preferences (the name Glazing.mdb will
be displayed at the top of the Import dialog box) and you will see the
glass layers which can be imported in to the existing library. All the
records for the current IGDB will be in the database. |
|
|
Click on the
column header for Database_Version, which causes the records to
be sorted by version number. This will allow you to select the
records of a particular version more easily. |
|
|
Highlight the records
to be imported, such as all the records with Database_Version set
to 16.1, then click the Select
button, which will import all the highlighted records into the
Glass Library. Answer 'Yes to All' to update
the records which were previously in the Glass Library but which
are being updated and therefore replaced -- see the
Release Notes
for
each version which will indicate which records have been updated and
will be replaced. (Note: If you want ALL the records in the
Glazing.mdb database, ie, not just one particular update version, you can click on the
Select All button, which selects all the records in the update
database, and then click on the Select button to import the
selected records into the Glass Library.)
|
|
|
After
the records are imported, you can verify that the records imported
properly by
clicking on the Source column header, which sorts the records by
that column. At the very bottom will be the newly
imported records. |

IGDB Version 15.1:
- Reused NFRC IDs: There are 4 records
whose numbers have been reused -- Glaverbel SA 4320, 4321, 4322, 4323. These
are listed as "deleted records" in the
