Standard DEA VolComp files can be any file name. You can use a full-path file name to facilitate sharing a common VolComp file with another application, such as "C:\\Tutor\\compens.dat".
Migrated VolComp File Names
For PC-DMIS file migration to work, the file name must be a migrated VolComp file name. The migrated VolComp file names are:
comp.dat
compens.dat
compgrid.dat
comp.enc
When a newer version of PC-DMIS is installed, the installation process automatically migrates or copies these files into the shared data files directory for the new version.
Rules
The following rules apply to VolComp files:
New DEA VolComp files are not migrated. They should be located in the PC-DMIS directory.
ASI VolComp files are always named compens.dat.
BNS VolComp files are always named comp.dat.
Some vision and multi-sensor machines use a hybrid ASI VolComp method, which uses a compens.dat file and a compgrid.dat file. If the compgrid.dat file is detected, it is read and applied. More information on the hybrid VolComp method is at https://downloads.ms.hexagonmi.com/Hardware/Vision/StageCal.
