The Valisys software is frequently uses other vendor’s software to provide the actual machine control to operate CMM’s. PC-DMIS has the capability to support this mode of operation. Although frequently referred to as the Valisys interface this should not be confused with an actual machine interface. The connection is between a Valisys host computer and a PC running PC-DMIS.
The connection between Valisys and PC-DMIS is accomplished by either TCP/IP or Serial (RS232) communications. This is completely independent of the method by which PC-DMIS communicates to a particular CMM. This section discusses the values that are used to establish the Valisys connection.
