Revision 6.7

Back to Benderlink for KEINS

Check.jpg ENHANCED - New Serial Port COM Engine Available

This Benderlink can use either the new WinSoft COM engine for faster communications, or the older MarshallSoft COM engine for cases where the older engine works better.

The Benderlink.ini file is found in the c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\BenderlinkChiyodaKeins folder.

Edit the Benderlink.ini in a notepad editor. The section to change is Communications Setup "COM Engine". These are the two available setups:

[Communications Setup]
COM Engine=WinSoft

or 

[Communications Setup]
COM Engine=Marshallsoft

Check.jpg ENHANCED - New CONVERSION Menu Option: Stop for Zero Diameter

Benderlink can now stop the process and ask for input if a zero diameter is encountered.

If this feature is deactivated, then Benderlink will ignore zero value radii values. In this case, Benderlink will automatically change a zero value diameter to non-zero using this formula:

(Rad Level 1) / 1.5

If the Rad Level 1 value is zero, then Benderlink will use this formula:

(Rad Level 2) / 1.5

  • If both radius level values are zero, then Benderlink will set the diameter to 1 unit.

    A non-zero diameter is important for communicating with ROMER DOCS software because DOCS will report a corrupted file if it senses a zero diameter. (Some measuring center software packages, like VTube-LASER will continue with a zero diameter.)

  • If the radius stop is enabled, and Benderlink stops for input while the measuring center is performing a recall, then the recall process will time out if the new diameter is not entered within the time out period.
