When you are using the kinematics mount for the Renishaw wrist, you need to modify this value to 1. PC-DMIS will ask (upon startup of the system) if the PHS Wrist is mounted on the CMM. PC-DMIS will only ask this question when the controller has just been powered on. Once you inform PC-DMIS what is on the end of the arm, it will not ask the question again until it senses the controller has been shut down and restarted. When you have the wrist mounted, PC-DMIS will add A and B axes to the readouts. This is in addition to the X, Y, Z axis readouts that are normally displayed.
Entry Name: RenishawKinematicMount
Entry Type: Whole number that specifies TRUE (1) or FALSE (0). The default value is 0.
The readout display will not reflect the value changes until you run PC-DMIS after responding favorably to the question regarding the PHS Wrist
