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.....
Update: Still getting the DOCS program up and running. I am having to steal the old hard drive from the crashed computer and trying to get it to work with the newer computer. This would be 100X easier if I had the original DOCS 2.3 install CD. I can find DOCS but when it tries to open it says the opengl needs to be a certain version or newer. I know that this computer actually has a better graphice card than the old one but there are still issues. Turning into a headache and my company still doesn't want to update the software just to run tubes. Any ideas where I can get old software from... Is that an unrealistic notion...?
