#### Active Controllers Settings

The Active Controllers section defines which machine interface PC-DMIS should use to control each hardware component during PC-DMIS online operation. You can select three options: MSI, CMMI or None.

- MSI: (Multi Sensor Interface). Select this option for when you want to use the MSI to handle the controller section. For dedicated Vision machines (such as ROI, TESA and MYCRONA), ALL active controllers that are present on the machine will go through the MSI. On a CMM, just the Vision specific controllers (Illumination, Optics, Framegrabber) would normally be set to MSI. The other (Motion, Pendant, Toolchanger, Wrist, Touch Probe, Laser Probe) will use the standard CMM interface (CMMI)

- CMMI: Select this option for a Vision probe on a CMM (e.g. the CMM-V camera), where the original controller (e.g. LEITZ) is used to control the Motion, Touch Probe,Wrist, Laser Probe and ToolChanger elements of machine operation.

- None: Select this option if the hardware component does not exist or is broken. If the component is broken, selecting this option lets you continue to use functional parts of your optical machine.

Note: MSI and CMMI selections are NOT mutually exclusive. You are permitted to mix MSI with a CMMI controller during the selection.
