## Launching PC-DMIS Portable

PC-DMIS allows you to launch a slightly different user interface when working with portable devices. A Portable toolbar appears (see "Portable Toolbar" in the "Using Toolbars" section of the core PC-DMIS documentation). In addition, toolbar icons and menu items will be larger, easier to see from a distance than those used in a standard CMM-based configuration of PC-DMIS.

The Portable interface becomes available in one of two ways:

- Your portlock is programmed with the Romer, Leica, SMX Laser, Faro Manual, or Total Station interface prior to installing PC-DMIS. The appropriate portable interface will be installed and used whenever you launch PC-DMIS.

or

- Your portlock is programmed with "All Interfaces".

In either case, you will need to create one or more configuration files (XML files created from a configuration utility) defining the exact portable configurations you want to use. Next, using the Configurations list on the Settings toolbar of the PC-DMIS user interface, you will need to choose the configuration to load. PC-DMIS will restart using the defined portable configuration. For example, you could define two different configuration files for the same Leica interface and switch between them as needed.
