I have been tasked with setting up a Romer with existing software that currently runs a CMM. Software PC-DMIS V. 4.2 MR1. I have set the Romer up, calibrated it using its utility feature (not with PC-DMIS) and now I need to know how to get PC-DMIS to recognize that there is a Romer attached. The CMM attaches through COM port 1 but the Romer has a USB connection. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? Or can I manipulate the current version to "know" that there is a Romer attached....? Any and all help is appreciated.....
Hello all, I posted this question under Mike_B's name because I didn't want to wait to set my own up. He works with me so... Anyway, to jump back to the subject, I am working off of a desktop that was previously set up for a CMM. I ordered an new comp for the CMM which is working on Win 7 and runs 2012 MR1 SP1. I took the old comp running Win XP and trying to get it to work with the Romer. I do have the install discs for PC-DMIS 4.2 MR1 which will work on XP, so I can uninstall and reinstall if needed, of course I would prefer not to... just an FYI... Here are the next things I need to know....
1) Are there any files that have to be manipulated in PC-DMIS to allow it to recognize a Romer, such as .dll files?
2) I understand the portlock thing and will have to contact the maker of the romer to get that ball rolling, Im just curious as to what else I need to do.
3) If I get a new portlock for the Romer, will there be an option in PC-DMIS to look for a USB port instead of the COM ports?
I know there are a lot of questions but Myself and Mike moved into these jobs with NO knowledge of CMM's ADCOLES or Romers. Thank you for all the help.
