#### Metris Sensors

Laser Sensor Tab for Metris Sensors

To Associate your Sensor file with your Machine:

1. Copy your Sensor calibration files to your hard drive where the other Metris files are located. As a recommendation, you should copy it to the \<PC-DMIS Install Directory>\Metristoolkit.

Your Metris sensor comes with a floppy disk that contains a sensor calibration map (.SCM) file. If the floppy disk contains multiple files, you should copy the file with _API.scm in the name.

2. Rename the calibration file that you copied to your hard drive. It is important that the last part of the file includes “CalMap” in the name. For example, if you have an LC sensor with serial number 352-04 you could name it LC-352-04. Thus, the calibration file name should be LC-352-04CalMap.scm. PC-DMIS looks for all files with the names <sensor name>CalMap.scm to know the available sensors on the system.

3. Use the … button to browse to the location where the calibration map was saved. This path will be displayed in the Sensor files location box. You may also type the fully qualified path to the .SCM file.

4. PC-DMIS will automatically display the list of available sensors in the Available Sensors list. Select the sensor that will be used on this machine.

5. Click the Associate button to associate the selected sensor with the current machine. The associated sensor is displayed in the Sensor associated with this machine box.

6. Once you have completed the setup process, shut down PC-DMIS and restart. This will initialize PC-DMIS with the new settings.

Registry Settings for Laser Probes

The Settings Editor has two settings that allow for the automated process of switching between a Contact probe and a Perceptron probe on a PH10 wrist (PICSDifferentialSwitchBit) and controlling the power on a laser probe warm up station (WarmUpStationPowerBit).
