## Romer Arm Interface

The Romer interface is used with a Romer arm machine. PC-DMIS v3.7 and above supports USB arms.

- For PC-DMIS 3.5 MR2 or earlier version, copy this file from Wilcox’s ftp site: ftp://ftp.wilcoxassoc.com/3rdParty/Romer/Romer22.zip.

- For other versions (including Beta), copy this file from Wilcox’s ftp site: ftp://ftp.wilcoxassoc.com/3rdParty/Romer/Romer31.zip.

Unzip the file(s) and run setup.

Set the environment parameters so that PC-DMIS can access Romer’s DLLs:

- Go to Control panel

- Select System, then click on Advanced tab then click on the Environment variables button.

- In the system variables list box, edit the Path variable. Add a semicolon followed by the WinRDS installation directory. Normally this is means adding “;C:\Program Files\cimcore\winrds” (without the quotation marks) to the end of the Path string.

Before starting PC-DMIS, rename the romer.dll to interfac.dll.

The Machine Option dialog box has five tabs for the Romer interface:

Debug tab

See the "Generating a Debug File" topic.

Tools tab

This tab provides a Diagnostics button. This button launches Romer software to configure and test your Romer Arm. See the WinRDS User Guide, located in the WinRDS install directory for more information. The WinRDS User Guide is a PDF file that gets installed when you install WinRDS.

Note: Additional information for this interface is provided in the Machine Interface Installation Manual (MIIM).

Romer Pulled Hit Feature

The Romer interface supports pulled hits. See "Pulled Hits Method" in the "Probe Compensation" section.
