Enabling LK’s Communications Log

You can see what the LK software sends to its controllers by enabling its communications log. This topic describes how to turn on the LK's communications log in the LK-DMIS software.

When you start the measurement routine, the Non Programmed Inspection Dialog dialog box appears.

  1. Click the Utilities button.

  2. Click the Machine button.

  3. Click the Config button.

  4. Click OK when the warning message appears.

  5. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  6. Mark the Controller Communications Log Enabled check box. Enter a file name in the box below it, or use the default entry (usually comms.log).

From here, you can review the settings in the lkcmm.cfg file. The settings of interest are the "Default" settings.

  1. Click OK.

  2. Click Close, and then click Close again.

For any application that uses lkcmm.cfg, you can edit the file to turn on the communications log.
