[Info-vax] DEC3000->DECServer90TL->CMM comunication problem

[dan.gillbjer at telia.com]

As I recall, there should be some logicals defined :
CM (Coordinate Machine)
LP (Line Printer)
PL (Plotter)
DI (Digitizer)
VM (Virtual Machine)

By default LTA104, 105, 106 and 107 was used on B&S, DEA and Leitz CMM's.

SH LOG CM  should point at LTAxxx (by default it was LTA104)
If CM exists, then the controller could be a Sharpe32 Z.

If not, do the same check on VM (SH LOG VM, could also be a symbol, SH SYM VM)
If VM exists, then it's a regular Sharpe32-controller, talking the Sharpe-protocol, which differs a lot from the Leitz-protocol.

In case of a Sharpe32, then Quindos starts a driver (XCL_110.EXE) that acts like an interpretator between Quindos and the controller,

I think that XCL_110.EXE can be found in QDS_MANAGER (DIR QDS_MANAGER)

But, first of all, it must be some LTA-devices.
It's also possible that the TTAx-/TTBx-devices have been used.

It is possible to "trace" what DCL-procedures are called upon login.
Begin with SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM and follow and check each line.
Also follow all the calls that points to QDS_MANAGER, QDS_SYSTEM, .......

Pls bare in mind that it was many years ago since the last time I installed and configured a CMM like the one You are struggeling with.
