This information refers to upgrading PC and software used with length measuring machines in calibration laboratories. It applies to measuring machines developed by different manufacturers. This update allows use of QMSOFT 32 bit, without affecting the original measurement system (hardware) located on the machine. Measurement system correction values can be easily entered in QMSOFT after calibration with traceable laser interferometer or block gauges.
If you length
measuring machines has a Heidenhain IK 121 on ISA bus connected
to LID glass scale, proceed as follows:
1. Verify, directly
with your supplier or Heidenhain, the compatibility between
version of LID glass scale and the new IK 220 PCI bus cards (cost
approx. 1200 EUR). You will have to provide information on output
signal, length constant (usually 10 µm) and other information as
requested.
2. Ask for the special cable ID nr. (it ends with xx) to be used
with IK 200 and your LID version. Plug is usually round. Cost
approx. 150 EUR
3. Install IK 220 on your new PC, then install QMSOFT 32, the
card should be automatically installed. Otherwise use driver
diskette provided with the IK 220 card.
QMSOFT 32 bit has been tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, uses Interbase SQL Server, and allows setup of a lab e-calibration policy.
