New Users/Installs thank you for choosing to download and try our application, we do hope you enjoy your experience and find it easy to use. We have extensive guides via our online Help Wizard as well as an ever increasing library of short form Video Guides to help assist you. We strongly recommend you make use of these as they will assist you in your experience.
Keeping things simple there are two (2) parts to our Software Solution, firstly the Time Clock Software and secondly the COMMS Sigma Software. The Time Clock Software is where all the magic happens in respect of calculating employees times and generating reports, whereas the COMMS Sigma Software is the interface communications software between the MorphoWave Compact, Sigma and Visionpass Biometric Readers and the Time Clock Software.
Additionally COMMS Sigma also includes our optional/add-on Punch at the P.C. Software Module. Under the Demo version/license we've made Punch at the P.C. active so you can fully utilize the solution by having your employees Clock In and Out via a P.C.(s), and thereafter must be licensed as an extra/add-on if still required with an active license. Please note Punch at the P.C. can be used with or without the above add-on MorphoWave Compact, Sigma and Visionpass Biometric Readers.
Existing Users/Installs please just download the required Version (, unzip and install the as required if upgrading or re-installing.
The Download Part
Time Clock and COMMS Sigma Software
Important - Please note although there is a single (zipped) file download (below), once downloaded and unzipped there is two (2) versions of the Time Clock Software you can choose from, being either a 32-bit or 64-bit version. The Version you will need to install is based on the version of Microsoft Office applications you are running, and NOT based on your version of Windows. When installing it is important you select the correct version. If you select the incorrect version simply re-install using the correct version.
If you are unsure what version you require open up MS Word, Excel or even Outlook, etc. and go to -
-
'File' - 'Account' or 'Office Account' - 'About XXXXX' (and check if it is 32bit or 64bit).

Please note if you are using 'Punch at the P.C.' for Punching On and Off at the P.C. (an optional/add-on module in COMMS Sigma) then this can be installed onto other desktops on your connected Network to allow for Clocking by employees (installation on multiple P.C.’s requires a valid Network Software License).
