Changing tips on the LSP-X1 works flawlessly, but changing sensors does not work.
When changing sensors, the machine drops the tip off of the LSP like it should, but when it moves to change the sensor to CMMV or CMS, it just parks outside the drop off port for whatever sensor that is loaded and does nothing more?
I have been manually swapping sensors because of this and it does not matter which sensor is loaded and which sensor to load, it parks outside the drop off port and just sits there.
No error message or anything.
If I cancel the execution, the execution status message is "~GCOMM"?
What do I need to do to get the machine to perform the sensor swap?
Check the com parameters.
I had this kind of problems when I changed the PC, and at the same time, pass from 2020 to 2022.
I had to reload parameters in the setting editor, in PC-dmis and in windows.
I also updated the drier of the com board.
1200, E, 7, 2 is what I have here. Yes, GCOMM is an indication that the commands are not going through. This is at the point where it is using the DATUM sphere, trying to send the rack into Datum mode, etc. Very often I use a tool like Hyperterminal to test these communications parameters before diving into PC-DMIS and getting 75% through calibration to have it fail.
Checked the COM settings from an old screendump I had back when the computer needed upgrading and it showed 1200, 7, None, 2. Made sure these were in PC-DMIS as in Device Manager.
Still didn't work. Changed COM port in PC-DMIS and it started changing sensors - victory!
So, now (hopefully) all sensors can be used again, installed 2022.1 SP3, ran full calibration too - now I feel fulfilled!
