Deva CMM Controllers Quick Installation Guide

3.2 DevaTools
Install the DevaTools using the setup program by double clicking the msi file found on
the media in the DevaCmmCtrl\DevaTools directory.
These tools include a new DevaCmm Control Panel for both 32bit and 64bit operation
and the new Deva Config Editor which is used to configure all Deva products.
3.3 Default Configuration
The Deva CMM controller software no longer uses the axis.cfg and system.cfg
configuration files. Instead all configuration is performed using the Deva Config
Editor.
The first step on a new installation after installing the tools is to use the Deva Config
Editor to restore a default configuration for the installed card. This is performed by
running up the Deva Config Editor, entering the code 0454 in the code dialog and then
performing a restore operation of the appropriate default config backup file.
A number of backup files are supplied for the Deva 004 card, Deva 001 card and Deva
037 in the DevaCmmCtrl\DefaultConfigs directory of the media.
This will result in a basic configuration being setup with default values such as number
of axes and axis types, the Deva Config Editor is then used to customize the
configuration as part of the machine installation. For more information see the Deva
Config Editor manual.
Alternatively in a production environment a user may want to restore a pre-prepared
master backup for that machine type.
3.4 Testing the installation
The installation may be tested using either of the supplied Deva CMM Control Panel
programs installed by the DevaTools to the start menu or the legacy DevaCmm panel
that may be found on the media in the utils\win32 directory, or a card specific utility
such as Axistuner. If there are any problems during installation, error messages will be
written to the Windows event log.
