## Romer Portable CMM: Introduction

Romer Portable CMMs are articulated arm machines used to measure parts using either a hard probe or Perceptron laser probe.

PC-DMIS uses WinRDS to interface with your Romer arm. Please refer to the WinRDS documentation for detailed information for configuration and usage of your portable arm. The latest WinRDS software is available from the Wilcox FTP site at ftp://ftp.wilcoxassoc.com/Hardware/Portable/Romer/.

Note: To use a Romer arm device with PC-DMIS you must have your portlock programmed with the Romer interface option. You may additionally need to have the Laser Probe option with the "Perceptron" Probe Type programmed if you are using a Perceptron probe on a Romer arm.

Important: The Rotary Table portlock option MUST NOT be selected when you are using a portable device since it will cause problems with your portable device.

The information provided in the topics in this section were written specifically for Romer arms, but may be relevant to non-Romer arms.
