This document outlines the basic communications setup for a Lightspeed control.

Change to the Systems menu. If you are not running the operator station as an administrator, then press SECURITY and enter the administrator code. (The default code is "123".)

Press the DEVICE CONFIG button.

In DEVICE CONFIG, enter the MACHINE menu.

Select a Measure Machine tab. LightSpeed can store four simultaneous measuring center setups for connection to multiple measuring centers.

• NAME: The name value has no effect on the protocol. However, you can give the setup a name here.
  
  
• PROTOCOL: Select the SupraGauge protocol.
  
  
• BENDER NUMBER: Set the bender to an integer number that identifies it. This is very important if you have multiple benders that share the same network location for transfer of data files.
  
  
• CHECKBOX OPTIONS: Select any of the checkbox options that you want to enable.
  
  
  • LOG: To log activity as it occurs
    
    
  • METRIC: To make all linear data communicate in Millimeters rather than the default Inches
    
    
  • PRESET CLR: To ignore any incoming Centerline Radius data. If you leave this disabled, then you will probably need to setup the CLR after LightSpeed receives a new part file from the measuring center.
    
    
• NETWORK PATH: Set the Network Path to a location on the network that allows read/write access. This is the path where all machines and measuring centers will drop and pickup command files using the Supravision Network protocol.
