### Numerex Interface

The Numerex interface is used with Numerex machines. There are two different types of Numerex interfaces available, one with a Digital Readout Unit (DRO) and one without. The DRO version is straightforward to install but if your machine has no DRO then a Tech80 card will be needed (to read the scales) as well as a special kit to connect the Tech80 to the Numerex controller. See the MIIM for installation information for these two interfaces.

No machine parameter file is needed from the original system to run this interface.

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

The Machine Option dialog box has four tabs for the Numerex interface:

Numerex tab

See the "Mitutoyo Interface tab" topic.

Axis tab

See the "Assigning the Machine Axes" topic.

Resolution tab

See the "Setting the Axes Scale Factor" topic. Default is X=1.0, Y=1.0, Z=1.0. This scale factor is used if a DRO unit is present.

Debug tab

See the "Generating a Debug File" topic.

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