Click on the “Local Area Connection” that the gauge (or network switch if youhave more than one of NetLinc Gauges, NetI/O, and DSP for wall measurement)is plugged into. You’ll use the PCs network port to plug in the LaserLincequipment. You can use a USB to network adaptor to plug the PC into your plantnetwork/internet. It is easiest to keep these separate.iii. Select Propertiesiv. Double Click on Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)v. Click the button next to “Use the following IP address”vi. Type in the following:1. IP Address: 10.10.10.12. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0vii. Click OK, OK, Close and close all of the network settings windows.Plug in the laser micrometerIf you’ve purchased the “Encoder” option, plug it in.a. For NetLinc gauges the Encoder plugs into the micrometer or the external NetLinc.b. For PCI or PCIe systems the encoder plugs into the back panel on the PC that isconnected to channel 4 on the PCI/PCIe card.If you’ve purchased the NetI/O device or a DSP (for UltraGauge ID/OD/Wall systems), plug theminto the network port of the PC or the Network Switch that is plugged into the PC. All networkdevices must plug into the same port in the PC, the use of a network switch makes this easy.Simply plug the network switch into power, then plug one of the ports into the PC, use the restof the ports to connect any LaserLinc gear requiring a network port.If you’ve purchased the PCIe I/O device, plug it into the PCIe card via the back panel of the PC.If you’ve purchased other devices like analog I/O, etc This hardware may require theMeasurement & Computing software mentioned in step 4 even if you have purchased it after2014. Plug in the hardware. Windows will automatically see the I/O device and install “HumanInterface Device Drivers”. For systems purchased before 2014, or systems utilizing"Measurement & Computing" I/O hardware, run Instacal. Instacal will pop up a window thatsays it found the hardware. Click OK and then close Instacal. You should not have to runInstacal again unless I/O devices are added, moved, or removed IMPORTANT – If you are usingdevices that plug into the USB port: in the device manager of windows, under “Universal SerialBus Controllers”, right click on each of the “USB Root Hub” and select “Properties”. Under the“Power Management” tab make sure the options “Allow the computer to turn off this device tosave power” is NOT checked. Otherwise, Windows will sporadically disconnect the I/O Devicesconnected to USB ports In more recent versions of Total Vu the Power Management willautomatically be set correctly during the installation process.Start Total Vu. With some older versions of software, when started for the first time, you will beprompted for a license code.

Calibration VerificationLaser micrometers need to be calibrated when they are first set up, if they've been moved around,connected to a new system, etc. Once installed however, the frequency of calibration will depend onthe type of laser micrometer, the environment in which it is installed, and the specific applicationsaccuracy requirements. Calibration frequency can be as short as every couple months, or as long asevery 5 or more years. In any case, a “calibration verification” can be done on a daily, weekly, monthly,or yearly schedule simply by placing a calibration standard in the gauge to “verify” that the gauge ismea
