DCSWatch Integration

DCSWatch is a separate DICOS product for managing watches on Spectrum models. It uses OneClickExt as its platform. The OneClickExt daemon and client must be running for DCSWatch to function, but DCSWatch is installed and licensed independently.

Installation

DCSWatch has its own installer, separate from the OneClickExt installation:

DCSWatch installer

Run the DCSWatch installer on the Spectrum server after OneClickExt is already installed and running. The installer registers the DCSWatch model types with Spectrum and configures the integration.

Once DCSWatch is installed, its menu entries appear automatically in the Spectrum console. No manual changes to custom-menu-config.xml are required:
