PC-DMIS Workflow Using HxGN Robotic Automation

This workflow assumes you have the ROY-AUTOMATE license enabled.

To use PC-DMIS with the HxGN Robotic Automation application:

  1. Create a PC-DMIS measurement routine using a laser probe. You can either manually create the measurement routine or import a CSV version with the CSV-Converter application.

  2. On the HxGN Robotic Automation toolbar (View | Toolbars | HxGN Robotic Automation) , click the Export to HxGN Robotic Automation button () or select the File |Export | HxGN Robotic Automation menu option.

For features not yet supported, HxGN Robotic Automation displays the Export to HxGN Robotic Automation - Not managed yet dialog box to list them:

Click Save to save the report of unsupported features as a text file.

  1. From the HxGN Robotic Automation toolbar, click the TCP/IP Pointcloud Server receive data button () to open the communication channel between PC-DMIS and HxGN Robotic Automation.

  2. From the HxGN Robotic Automation application, create and execute the scanning program. For details on how to create and execute scanning programs in the HxGN Robotic Automation application, see the HxGN Robotic Automation documentation.

PC-DMIS receives the scanned data back from the HxGN Robotic Automation application, and automatically executes the measurement routine.
