## Setting Machine Options

Select the
Edit | Preferences | Machine Interface Setup menu option. The Machine Options dialog box appears. The tabs displayed in this dialog box may vary depending on the type of optical machine you have, and whether youre running online or offline, but a typical optical machine would allow you to:

- Specify the active Hardware Components you will use with your optical measuring system. This potentially allows you to still use some components of your optical machine, if certain hardware components are broken. See Machine Options: General tab.

- Change your Machine's Speed and Travel Limits. See "Machine Options: Motion tab".

- Specify the Available Lamps on your machine. See "Machine Options: Illumination tab". Available in both online and offline modes.

- Specify the settings for your Wrist Device. See "Machine Options: Wrist Tab".

- Define the Speed Parameters for your manual control box. See Machine Options: Pendant tab.

- Specify the Communications Port and settings used to connect your computer to your optical measuring device. See Machine Options: Motion Controller Communication tab and Machine Options: Illumination Communication tab.

- Store any communications between PC-DMIS Vision and your optical machine for Debug purposes. See Machine Options: Debug tab.

CMM-V Note: If you are running PC-DMIS Vision with the CMM-V probe on a CMM, then not all the above pages will be available. To access the standard CMM controller setup, select the Setup... button on the CMMI section of the General tab.

Note: Many of the functions that used to be accessed from the Machine Options dialog box have been moved the Probe Utilities dialog box as part of the centralized calibration processes. Calibration is now probe specific.
