If PC-DMIS is configured for the HP-L-20.8 laser sensor at startup, the system looks for the current-mounted probe. If it is not the laser HP-L-20.8 sensor, and a probe changer is present, the system assumes that the sensor is in the probe changer and switches on the warm-up power state. This ensures that the sensor is warmed and ready for measuring.
If you see the Probe Utilities dialog box from the previous step, close it.
Select Edit | Preferences | Setup, or press F5, to open the Setup Options dialog box.
There is no tab on the Setup Options dialog box for the CWS probe.
Select the Laser Sensor tab. The contents of this tab change based on the type of laser sensor that is defined in your LMS license or portlock. Click the link that corresponds to your laser sensor, and follow the instructions there.
Starting with PC-DMIS 2019 R2, PC-DMIS no longer supports the Perceptron laser sensor. While you may still be able to install PC-DMIS 2019 R2 and later, PC-DMIS displays an error if you attempt to run measurement routines that use the Perceptron scanner. For additional information, please contact Technical Support.
