Restoring Factory Settings from the Controller

For machines using a Leitz interface, if you've saved over your CMM 's original factory settings by clicking a Default button on one of the tabs on the Parameter Settings dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters), you can still restore them by following this procedure:

  1. Access the Machine Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Machine Interface Setup).

  2. From the first tab you see, select the Read Machine Defaults on Startup check box. This tells PC-DMIS to query the CMM's controller for the CMM defaults the next time you start PC-DMIS.

  3. Click OK to close the dialog box.

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.
