Identical results laser scan after laser scan.

My programs give me identical results for the auto features that are extracted from the COP. The first time the program is ran everything is fine, but when ran again which includes COP empty command and new laser scan to make a new COP I get identical results and my 3 point COP-to-CAD (1000pt, 20 interations refinement included) alignment gets screwed up. The results are identical out to 5 decimal places. If I run the program once, then close program and close PC DMIS 2014.1, then start PC DMIS again and load the program again I get repeatable results that are good and they are not identical. Anybody have a idea whats going on here? Also PC DMIS runs slower and slower as the day progresses. I'm using 2014.1 with a Romer Arm and RS2 laser probe.

  • Thanks for the reply Scott. The Romer product engineer came to our facility and spent all day trying to find the source of this problem. He ended up taking our Dell laptop back to Michigan with him. While onsite he was in contact with high level tech support and this high level tech support person said that he has seen this problem before and it is usually computer related. We actually hooked up another Dell from Midwest meteorology and the same problem occurred. I could use some tips on methods, such as do you import the model and scan or do you import model, program all of your features first and then scan? Also do you use any COP modifiers such as surface color-map?
