I'm still new to Romer and PC-DMIS, so I may be missing something, but this is what I'm seeing: I start PC-DMIS (Ver 2011 Rel), it allows me to measure, set alignments, etc. This goes on for some time (usually between an hour or two) and then suddenly, as you are taking readings to measure a feature, even after the minimum number of probe hits have been taken, the <Finish> button is greyed out and the Button 2 on the Arm doesn't respond. It will remove a probe reading, by holding the button down, but not finish a measurement. The arm will still collect more hits, but you cannot finish the feature. You can reset it and it will wipe out all the readings you've taken, but if you start again, it won't let you finish it.
The only work around I've found is to shut down PC-DMIS and restart, which then works just fine......for a while. This is running on a Win7 64 laptop.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Or better yet, found a way to keep this from happening?
Thanks, in advance for your suggestions.
