Note: If your portlock is programmed for "All Interfaces", you will need to run the PC-DMIS installation program with one of the following switches: /Interface:romer, /Interface:leica, /Interface:smxlaser, or /Interface:faro Adding these case sensitive switches can be done by creating a shortcut to the PC-DMIS Setup.exe and appending the needed switch to the Target field (For example: c:\download\PC-DMIS\setup.exe /Interface:romer). If you are installing with a portlock programmed for a specific interface, the correct interface should be installed automatically.
