Hello!
Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on an Optiv Performance z443
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The short and sweet of it is: I want 64-bit Windows.
The story is, I've got this Optiv. I'm pretty sure it's got a Matrox framegrabber, although I'm not entirely sure what that is. I would assume it's the card installed in the desktop that handles the camera.
Well I've
read it doesn't support 64-bit. So my dreams are shot...
Or are they?
Basically I hear about these Falcon cards, that do pretty much the same thing. And if that would work with 64-bit, that'd be really neat.
Will it? If not, is there another card I can get that'll do what I'm looking for? (Handle the regular CMM vision activity probably)
Another thing. What is the CMM-V probe? from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmKw5X-vNJY I can see it's a probe, but is this what's in an Optiv?
From what I can tell it's got a built in camera and the probes go on a TP200 seperate from the camera, so I don't have it?
I'd like to upgrade. If I need to talk to Hex I will, but I'm trying to beg my company for money so telling them it will cost a bundle to upgrade to x64 it might not sell the idea!
--------------------------------
I performed an upgrade to 64-bit Windows on the online CMM, on a seperate hard drive. The normal drive is a RAID setup with 2 drives, this is a drive without RAID.
I installed it correctly and everything, and I even installed PC-DMIS. We have the dongle so it was rather straightforward. But there were some hiccups, and I am under the impression it's the Matrox card.
If I need to just update the drivers or something because that
used to be a problem until Matrox
got with the program... I wouldn't know
what to do!

By the way I'm
really getting used to these italics!
