Disconnected from PC-DMIS

This is the first time attempting to utilize PC Dmis Gear on our machine. When creating the alignment the Alignment wizard does not pop up as stated in Step 7 (after clicking Measure). I did some looking at the screen & noticed on the Status Bar at the bottom shows that PC DMIS is Disconnected even if I have PC DMIS already up. I think this is the issue. See attachment
I am running PC DMIS 2010 & Gear 2.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My external alignments are custom to the family of parts I have programs but not instructions that is in my head.
    Here are some pictures; do your parts look like any of this?
    Don’t take size take features, flat gear with a bore, and gear on a shaft, things like that.
    I do have different setups but you get the idea. You may also see I use a fixed head so my probe setups can get quite strange.
    For the most part the final axis that is saved to file for recall by PC Gear has to be…
    Level in the Z+
    Rotate from center feature to center of tooth 1 in X+
    Translate top of gear tooth in Z
    Translate center of shaft or bore in X and Y
    If you have anything like this I may be able to send you a program you can break down to fit.
