Machine Options dialog box - Leitz Protocol Setup tab
The Dea tab allows you to configure the following settings that are specific to the DEA interface:
Read Machine Defaults On Startup - When this check box is enabled, PC-DMIS queries the CMM's controller for the CMM defaults the next time you start PC-DMIS. The next time you run PC-DMIS, it replaces the values stored in the PC-DMIS Settings Editor with the CMM's original factory values stored in the controller.
This procedure does not restore original factory values if you have overwritten them on the controller's hard drive.
Use TCPIP link to drive Machine - Select this option if you are using TCP/IP to connect to your controller.
TCPIP Address - Specify the TCP/IP address for your machine controller - this is the IP address of the machine (CMM Controller) itself.
TCPIP Port Number - Specify the port number that the controller is configured to listen to. Typically this is port 2001.
Terminal button - This button opens a terminal session with your controller based on the TCP/IP settings.
Disengage Drives - This check box should be selected for DCC machines which have drives that can be disengaged that are going to be used manually.
Compensation Type - Select from the following Volcomp methods: NONE, DEA Standard, DEA DLL (wcompens32), ASI, or Brown & Sharpe.
Compensation Mode - Select from the following compensation modes: Standard Machine, Dual Drive, Horizontal Arm (Arm 1), or Horizontal Arm (Arm 2).
Use DEA Structural Thermal Compensation OCX - Select this option to use DEA Structural Thermal Compensation OCX.
OCX Path - Specifies the path for the DEA Structural Thermal Compensation OCX file.
Machine Type - Specify the type of machine: Arm or Robot
Altering these values may give an undesired result. Only a trained Technician should change these values.
