Standard DEA VolComp files can be any file name. A full path file name can be used to facilitate sharing a common VolComp file with another application, for example, "C:\\Tutor\\compens.dat". Note that for PC-DMIS file migration to work, the file name must be a migrated VolComp file name. For details, see the topic "Migrated VolComp File Names".
The following rules apply to these types:
New DEA VolComp files are not migrated. They should be located in the PC-DMIS directory.
ASI VolComp files are always named compens.dat
BNS VolComp files are always named comp.dat.
Some vision and multi-sensor machines use a hybrid ASI VolComp method, which uses a compens.dat file and a compgrid.dat file. If the compgrid.dat file is detected, it is read and applied. More information on the hybrid VolComp method can be found at ftp://ftp.wilcoxassoc.com/Hardware/Vision/StageCal/.
