## Using the PC-DMIS CNC Server program

PC-DMIS CNC Server is a stand alone program that cooperates with PC-DMIS/NC to analyze results.

Before you Begin: You need a copy of PC-DMIS installed, and your port lock must be programmed with at least one CNC License in order to use PC-DMIS CNC Server.

To start PC-DMIS CNC Server, double-click on the CNC Server shortcut icon in the PC-DMIS NC program group. If this shortcut icon is not available, you may need to re-install PC-DMIS after ensuring that your portlock is properly programmed.

CNC Server

The PC-DMIS CNC Server program appears and PC-DMIS NC runs in the background. When it launches PC-DMIS CNC Server automatically closes any pre-existing instances of PC-DMIS NC so that only one instance of PC-DMIS NC will open and run in the background.

PC-DMIS CNC Server

By default, the Analyze button is automatically selected when you launch the PC-DMIS CNC Server program. This means that the server is running and ready to receive data from an NC machine.

Note: The Download Program, Execute Journal File, Define Machines, and Open PC-DMIS buttons are inactive whenever the server is analyzing. To activate these buttons, first click the Hold button. Once activated, they will show a blue glow.

For PC-DMIS NCI, CNC Server only uses the Define Machines function is used to setup the Controller interface. All other functions are not used. Once the NC measurement parameters have been set, they need not be touched once the installation is completed. Securing NC parameters may be accomplished by removing CncServer.exe from the system.
