RMP - RMI-Q partnership
The RMP and RMI-Q must be placed into
acquisition mode.
On the RMP, acquisition mode achieved using
Trigger Logic™.
On the RMI-Q, acquisition mode is achieved
either by manually power cycling the RMI-Q, or
via application of ReniKey which is a Renishaw
machine macro cycle.
Trigger Logic™ is a method that allows the user
to view and select all available mode settings
in order to customise a probe to suit a specific
application. Trigger Logic™ is activated by battery
insertion and uses a sequence of stylus deflection
(triggering) to systematically lead the user through
the available choices to allow selection of the
required mode options.
Current probe settings can be reviewed by simply
removing the batteries for a minimum of
5 seconds, and then replacing them to activate
the Trigger Logic™ review sequence.
To partner the RMP with the RMI-Q
Partnering is required during initial system set-up.
Further partnering will be required if either the
RMP or RMI-Q are changed.
Any RMP that is partnered with the RMI-Q, but
then used with another system, will need to
be cleared first from the RMI-Q before being
partnered with the new system. The RMP will also
need to be partnered again should it be brought
back to the RMI-Q.
Partnering will not be lost by reconfiguration of
probe settings or when changing batteries.
NOTE: Partnering will be lost when multiple
probe mode is selected. Multiple probe mode
is a function of the RMP. See the relevant RMP
installation guide (see Section 6, 'Parts list').
Partnering can take place anywhere within the
operating envelope.
1. Use Trigger Logic™ to access RMP
configuration mode.
2. Configure switch-on method (if applicable).
3. Configure switch-off method (if applicable).
4. Configure enhanced trigger filter and auto
reset function (if applicable).
5. Enter acquisition mode menu.
6. Power on the RMI-Q or apply one of the
ReniKey commands. Please refer to the
ReniKey programming manual.
7. Watch the RMI-Q P1 system status LED;
after a couple of seconds the LED will
repeatedly flash on and off green. This is
the start of a 60 second interval in which the
RMI-Q is in acquisition mode.
8. Deflect the stylus < 4 seconds to initiate the
acquisition process.
9. After successful acquisition, the RMI-Q P1
system status LED will change to repeatedly
flashing red and yellow (for 5 seconds)
indicating that acquisition is complete and
Probe 1 is full.
10. Leave RMP for 20 seconds to go into
standby.
11. System is ready to use.
NOTES:
To check that turn on and off settings have not
been accidentally changed, insert batteries to
review current probe settings.
When holding the RMP do NOT wrap a hand, or
anything else, around the glass window.
The system will not function correctly if more than
one partnered RMI-Q is within the transmission
range of the RMP.
