Using a Dynamic Reference Frame with a 3DCreator Probe
DRFs are associated with specific probes within the Probe Manager. You may use a single DRF with multiple probes. In order to use a DRF with a probe, you must add identifying information to the desired probe definition. When a probe is defined to have an associated DRF the 3DCreator device uses the specified DRF as the source for the device coordinate system instead of the native coordinate system of the camera array. You must make sure that the DRF is securely mounted relative to your part. If either the part or DRF are moved, the part alignment is lost just. Using the Alignment Manager to set a part coordinate system allows you to recreate an alignment if either the DRF or part are moved.
To Use a DRF with a Probe
-
View the probe to which you wish to associate a DRF.
-
Select Use DRF.
-
Set the DRF Serial Number.
|
|
Note: The DRF serial number is a unique identifier and should be imprinted on the body of your DRF. It corresponds to a file name stored within the 3DCreator interface controller. The serial number matches the file name; excluding the leading "D" that prefixes the associated file name. |
-
Set the DRF Port Assignment.
|
|
Note: Ports A through D represent the physical ports on the 3DCreator interface controller. Ports M and N are wireless "virtual" ports. Typically you would connect a wireless DRF to port "M Wireless". |
