Creating a Sensor System
You use the Design page in the System category to create a sensor system containing two or more sensors.

GoPxL does not currently support G3 multi-sensor systems. |
|
|
GoPxL does not currently support mixed-model multi-sensor systems. |
The System > Discover page lets you see all sensors, including those that are unavailable (either because of a GoPxL version mismatch, or because a sensor is already running through another PC instance of GoPxL). For information on running a sensor through a PC instance of GoPxL, see Running GoPxL on a Windows PC.
Adding Sensors and Configuring Multi-sensor Systems
GoPxL lets you create a dual- or multi-sensor system, which combines the scan data (Image, Profile, or Surface data) from individual sensors into a single frame, on which you can run measurement tools.
To create a dual- or multi-sensor system
| 1. | In a web browser, connect to the sensor with which you want to group other sensors. |
GoPxL will run on this sensor and control the other sensors.
The default Gocator sensor IP address is 192.168.1.10. If you don't see your sensor in the browser, see GoPxL Discovery Tool.
| 2. | In the GoPxL interface, go to the System > Design page and click Add device. |
A dialog opens, displaying the available sensors, and the sensor on which you're using GoPxL in the Layout section.
If you don't see sensors that you expect to see, go to the System > Discover page to see all sensors on the network, or use the Discovery tool (for more information, see GoPxL Discovery Tool).
| 3. | In the dialog, select the sensor you want to add to the sensor group and click OK. |
The sensor is added to the sensor group.
After you have grouped a sensor with another sensor, the web interface of the grouped sensor (also known as a "remote sensor") will show that it's currently being controlled by another GoPxL instance, namely, GoPxL running on the sensor on which you configured the system.
Removing a Sensor from a System
To remove a sensor from a dual-sensor system, click the trashcan icon in its row, or click Remove all remote.
