of an example sample file.The Generic CMM interface requires GMServer version 1.33 or higher.
The Generic CMM interface provides support for generic devices that communicate using RS232 or TCP/IP. The GMServer handles the communication and a dll interprets the data. The dll currently supports eight different data formats. If you need to support an additional format, you can substitute the GmsGenericCmm.dll with a dll with the same code footprint (see the table below). You must also update the GMS.XML section for Generic CMM with the name of the new dll (for example, <DLL>MyNewDll.dll</DLL>).
The currently supported formats are:
| X.X,Y.Y,Z.Z | (100.000,200.000,300.000) |
| X,Y,Z | (100000,200000,300000) |
| xX.X,yY.Y,zZ.Z | (X100.000,Y200.000,Z300.000) |
| Xx,yY,zZ | (X100000,Y200000,Z300000) |
| X.X,Y.Y,Z.Z,W.W | (100.000,200.000,300.000,245.5) |
| X,Y,Z,W | (100000,200000,300000,2455) |
| xX.X,yY.Y,zZ.Z,wW.W | (X100.000,Y200.000,Z300.000,W245.5) |
| Xx,yY,zZ,wW | (X100000,Y200000,Z300000,W2455) |
No drivers are necessary for this interface other than the drivers for the COMM port.
Additionally, the GmsGenericCmm.dll file or its replacement must be present in the root of the PC-DMIS installation folder.
The XML configuration file for this device is GMSGENERICCMM.XML. You must set the values according to the installed device.
