Notes for Renishaw PHS with Leitz Interface

When you are using the kinematics mount for the Renishaw wrist, you need to set the RenishawKinematicMount entry to 1 in the Option section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor. For information on modifying entries, please view the "Modifying Setting Entries" appendix.

When the system starts, PC-DMIS asks if the PHS Wrist is mounted on the CMM. PC-DMIS only asks this question when the controller has just been powered on. Once you inform PC-DMIS what is on the end of the arm, it does not ask the question again until it senses the controller has been shut down and restarted. When you have the wrist mounted, PC-DMIS adds A and B axes to the Probe Readouts window. This is in addition to the X, Y, Z axis readouts that are normally displayed.

The Probe Readouts window does not reflect the value changes until you run PC-DMIS after click Yes to the question regarding the PHS Wrist.
