Using PC DMIS that was set up for CMM with a Romer

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.....

  • No, I have a portlock for the CMM running on windows 7 with 2012 MR1 SP1. (The new software was the license that I meantioned earlier) I have contacted Hexagon and am awaiting a quote for a new portlock for the Romer. When we recieved the new computer for the CMM I reflashed the old portlock. We have a Romer with XP and a CMM with Win 7. Only one portlock, I had originally thought I could switch the portlock between the two computers and that all I had to do was make the comp with Win XP and PC-DMIS 4.2 recognize that there was a Romer attached... Still can't get PC-DMIS 4.2 to recognize that there is a Romer attached.....


    The reflashed portlock originally belongs to the Romer arm? Or the Romer never has had a portlock? Confused
