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.....
I tried to select ARMDATA.S6X the second time and it woulnd't let me. PC-DMIS only seems to have probe data for two probes and both are ball probes and I need the scanning probes installed too... Everything worked up until the last selection... I think it may be because there are no .PRB files on the flashdrive... Could that be it?
.PRB files are used only for pcdmis. You have to attach the scanning probe to the arm, if it is detected by winrds it should be listed in pcdmis too, I recommend you to calibrate (qualify) the 15mm ball probe and check your lenght bar to ensure that the arm is in good shape before the rest of probes calibration (follow the instructions in the arm´s documentation).
