Running PC-DMIS 64-Bit with Vision System Pros & Cons

Hey team,

Anthony here.

The company is looking at upgrades for the CMM. We are obtaining a white light sensor and in the process made a push for upgrading the PC Hardware and Software.

We are outdated with Windows XP 32-bit and we run PC-DMIS 2011 MR1 32-Bit with an Optiv 2z763.

Hexagon has informed us that they recommend using the 32-bit version of PC-Dmis with the Vision systems because that is what they are optimized for.

Using CAD really bogs down the system as we can only utilize 3GB of RAM with 32-bit Operating System. We can run Windows 7 64-bit and still run PC-DMIS 32-bit but I am not sure if this will still give me what I want for performance.

I would really like to know the Pros and Cons of this whole situation.

Please and Thank You Slight smile

  • I assume it all boils down to what frame grabber card you are using and the drivers for it.


    I'm not familiar with the term "frame grabber card", but the graphics display card is NVIDIA Quadro K600. The computer was provided by Hexagon with the new CMM that had a Chromatic Whitelight Sensor. I don't expect that the computer is inadequate to handle the job.
