Both the SLC and VisionBox interfaces use the CWS.ini file. For information, on how to install this file, see the "CWS.INI Installation Instructions - SLC Interface" or the "CWS.INI Installation Instructions - VisionBox Interface" topic.
This topic is for the FDC-VisionBox Interface.

Key |
Default Value |
Type of Value |
Description |
COM |
DEBUG |
0 |
Integer |
This value determines if enable debugging is on or off: 0 (zero) = Off 1 = On |
COM |
Connected |
0 |
integer |
This value determines if the application connects to the device or not: 0 (zero) = No 1 - Yes |
COM |
Port |
7 |
integer |
This value sets the serial port number for CWS. |
COM |
Baudrate |
115200 |
integer |
This is the connection speed value. All USB connections (for example, CHRocodile) require you to set this to 921600. The maximum speed for RS232 connections is 115200. |
GRAPHIC |
Zero |
50.0 |
Double |
This value is the offset position [%] in the measurement range. |
CONFIG |
SensorHeadNo |
0 |
Integer |
This value is the sensor head number to use at startup. |
CONFIG |
ForceSensorHeadNo |
0 |
Integer |
This value determines if you can set the sensor head from within the application or if the application only uses the value set in the SensorHeadNo settings entry key: 0 = This value allows you to set the sensor head from the application (for example, with TKJ-OMM). 1 = This value forces the application to always uses the sensor head number defined by the SensorHeadNo in the CWS.ini file. The application cannot set the sensor head number. |
CONFIG |
CHECKSINGLEVALUES |
1 |
integer |
This value determines if the validation of single point measurement raw result is on or off: Validation Off = 0 Validation On = 1 Starting with PC-DMIS 2020 R1 SP11, this setting is no longer supported and validation is always on. For all other versions, it is highly recommended that you set this to 1. |
Debug |
FileTrace.System.Commands |
0 |
integer |
This value sets the log CWS system commands in HMV debug files on or off: Off = 0 On = 1 |
In the case of the CHRocodile 2SHS, the COM settings for Port, Baudrate, Parity, Databits, Stopbits, and Handshake are not relevant since this controller requires an Ethernet connection (IP = 192.168.170.2, port = 7891).
