## PC-DMIS Portable: Introduction

This help file documents how to use PC-DMIS Portable with your portable measuring device to measure features on a part. Portable devices are manually operated measuring machines that are relatively easy to move to new locations due to their size and design. These are sometimes called "manual machines", or "hard probe machines", because they cannot run in DCC mode nor do they have a touch-trigger mechanism to record hits.

PC-DMIS Portable supports these hardware configurations:

¨ Romer Arms – Sigma Series, Flex Series, Omega Series, & Infinite series.
¨ Leica Laser Trackers – See the "Leica Laser Tracker: Introduction" topic for supported Leica versions.
¨ Faro Arms and SMX Trackers – These devices are supported by PC-DMIS and additional support is being added.
