Starting with PC-DMIS 2019 R2, PC-DMIS no longer supports the Perceptron laser sensor. While you may still be able to install PC-DMIS 2019 R2 and later, PC-DMIS displays an error if you attempt to run measurement routines that use the Perceptron scanner. For additional information, please contact Technical Support.
To manually register the Contour.dll file, follow these steps:
Check that the power on the Perceptron Sensor controller box is on as well as the power to the arm.
Open a Command Prompt window (DOS prompt), and change to the Perceptron directory. This is a subdirectory of the main PC-DMIS install directory.
Type the following on the command line: "regsvr32 contour.dll". After a few seconds, you should get a message that says "Contour.dll registered successfully".
If the file does not register successfully, contact Hexagon Technical Support. Otherwise, restart PC-DMIS.
