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.
Start PC-DMIS and open the original measurement routine created in the previous step. PC-DMIS should be able to identify the probe that is currently on the system. Once you have a probe in your measurement routine, the Laser tab in the Graphic Display window displays. It allows you to see real-time data that the sensor collected.
Switch to the Laser tab. It might take 10 or 20 seconds to initialize the sensor, so be patient. You should see a slightly skewed green trapezoid in the center of the window with a cross hair about two-thirds of the way to the top of the trapezoid. If you see anything else, PC-DMIS was unable to connect to the sensor and should give you an error message. If this happens, it usually means that the contour.dll file did not register correctly during installation. See the "Contour.dll Registration" topic.
Make sure there are no other copies of the CSGMain.bin file. Delete (or rename) any other CSGMain.bin files not in the current installation of PC-DMIS. If you do not have the correct version of CSGMain.bin, the sensor does not initialize.
Press the Live View button to start the scanner striping. The live image should update with the data that the scanner collected. You can now use your scanner in PC-DMIS.
If you still have problems, contact Hexagon Technical Support.
For additional information on how to use the scanner in PC-DMIS, consult the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
For additional information on the Perceptron system, see the Perceptron documentation included with your PC-DMIS installation in the Perceptron subdirectory.
