Disclaimers
Although extremely useful, CSIpix Comparator Pro and CSIpix Case AFIS are merely search tools used to assist examiners in locating potentially similar areas of two or more friction ridge impressions. Neither iSYS Corporation nor the CSIpix Comparator Pro or CSIpix Case AFIS software claims or intends in any way that areas of comparison (or lack thereof) indicated by the CSIpix Comparator Pro or CSIpix Case AFIS should be interpreted by the user as justification for the determination of whether or not a latent friction ridge impression is an individualization, exclusion, or inconclusive in comparison to a second friction ridge impression.
Please note that the determination of one friction ridge impression as being an individualization, exclusion, or inconclusive in comparison to a second friction ridge impression can only be conducted by a competently trained friction ridge examiner.
The terms ‘individualization’, ‘exclusion’, and ‘inconclusive’ are as defined in the SWGFAST Standard Terminology of Friction Ridge Examination (Latent/Ten-print) Ver. 4.1, where SWGFAST is the Scientific Working Group on Friction Ridge Analysis, Study and Technology.
FAQ
This is a problem that is the result of the CSIpix software being treated as a threat by the network security settings of your browser or your internet security software. Some virus scanners will not trust the CSIpix install executable especially if it is a new release. Please note any security warnings that appear during the download process and follow the prompts to allow the file to be downloaded. If you are unable to download please contact us at info@csipix.com and we will assist you. If necessary we will send a physical copy to you.
The manual sometimes gets deleted or blocked by security software because it’s a CHM file and these files can be used to hide Trojan viruses. Look in this folder to see if the manual is still there: C:\Program Files\CSIpix. The manual filename is CSIpix_Comparator_User_Manual.chm. If the file is missing, please contact us and we can email it to you. If the file is still there, it may be blocked. If this is the case, you need to right click on the file and click ‘Unblock’ at the bottom of the Properties Dialog Box.
