The migration path from ChorusNT to PC-DMIS is based on PC-DMIS's ability to import a Chorus DMIS file, converting the original DMIS file into equivalent PC-DMIS commands that make up a PC-DMIS measurement routine file, a file with a .prg filename extension.
PC-DMIS converts most DMIS commands into PC-DMIS commands to maximize the automatic conversion and minimize the manual modifications needed after the automatic import.
To begin the import process of ChorusNT extensions:
Select File | Import | Chorus DMIS. An Open dialog box appears.
Select the appropriate DMIS file and click Open. PC-DMIS displays the Dmis Import Setup dialog box.
You can use this dialog box to set the following required information during the import phase:
Specify the probe file name used for each arm
Enable the warning dialog at the end of the import phase
Enable some options relating to specific customers and hardware configurations
Taking the basic steps in the following topics can help you correctly import and translate your DMIS file into a PC-DMIS measurement routine file.
