### Step 3: Install PC-DMIS for Romer

Once you have verified connection of the PC to the arm, install PC-DMIS by doing the following:

NOT using a Perceptron Laser Sensor

1. Your portlock should have already been programmed with the Romer interface option before installing PC-DMIS.

Note: If All interfaces is programmed in your portlock (like a demo dongle), you will need to manually rename Romer.dll to interfac.dll. Romer.dll is found in the PC-DMIS install directory.

2. Install PC-DMIS. PC-DMIS is now ready to use.

ARE using a Perceptron Laser Sensor

1. Your portlock should have already been programmed with the Laser Probe, Perceptron, and the Romer interface options before installing PC-DMIS. If you don’t have Laser and Perceptron specified in the portlock, you will not have the necessary Perceptron files as indicated below. Additional files will be installed that are required by WinRDS when you install PC-DMIS.

Note: If All interfaces is programmed in your portlock (like a demo dongle), you will need to manually rename Romer.dll to interfac.dll. Romer.dll is found in the PC-DMIS install directory.

2. Install PC-DMIS. Do not run PC-DMIS at this point.

3. Verify that the probe.8 file has been installed in your ArmData directory (usually c:\Program Files\CIMCORE\WinRDS\ArmData). This file should be installed by PC-DMIS during the install process as long as your port lock is programmed correctly. The probe.8 file is used by WinRDS as the identifier for the Perceptron Contour sensor. If you do not have a copy of this file, make sure that you contact your PC-DMIS distributor.

4. Continue to the "Configuring a Perceptron Contour Sensor" section.

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.
