Mac installs

Omniscope is available for Mac OS X 10.3 or later.  Requires Java 5 or later, usually already installed.

Both 32 and 64 bit operation is supported by the Mac installer, using 64-bit by default if available.

To get the Mac version of Omniscope, visit the download page and be sure that "Mac OS X" is selected under "Operating System".

Limitations

Primarily because the Mac has a fundamentally different operating system from Windows PCs, there are some limitations in the current Mac version of Omniscope. 

  • Multiple instances of Omniscope cannot be started, meaning that only one IOK file can be opened at a time.
  • Some Microsoft Office interoperability is not present, such as importing/exporting to/from PowerPoint.
