Lights on

Hello Everyone.
We have a Hexagon Dual Z machine and we are using it for a lot of Tactile only measurement.
On a lot of parts we can't clearly see where the probe is due to the lack of light reaching the parts.
Is there any PC-DMIS command which can switch on the Ring light on the machine ?
Is it possible to use the Ring light as an extra light source when we are not using the vision system but the probing sensor only ?

Thanks for your reply in advance, and have a nice day Slight smile

  • edit/preferences/machine interface setup (from vision manual)

    Machine Options: Illumination Tab
    Machine Options dialog box – Illumination tab
    The Illumination tab allows you to select the lamps that are installed on your machine from those available from the machine vendor.
    From the Available Lamps list, select the check box next to the lamps that are physically installed on your machine.
    Selecting Restore last lamp state at startup turns the lamps on to the last state when PC-DMIS is started.
    Selecting Turn lamps off at end of execution turns the lamps off when the measurement routine is completed.
    This feature is not used for single feature execution (Ctrl + E, or Measure Now, or Test),
    only for execution such as Full, Execute Block, or Execute from Cursor. By default, this option is OFF.


    Maybe "Selecting Restore last lamp state at startup turns the lamps on to the last state when PC-DMIS is started" should work if lamps are on when you close PC-DMIS ?​
