AUTOMATIC HANDLING OF NETWORK COMMUNICATION FAILURE IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL COORDINATE MEASUREMENT DEVICES

Abstract:

A method includes establishing a first communication connection between a computing device and a coordinate measurement device for submitting, by the computing device, one or more commands to the coordinate measurement device. A second communication connection between the two devices is established for receiving, by the computing device, coordinate data from the coordinate measurement device. In response to receiving, by the computing device, a command for the coordinate measurement device, if the first communication connection is not open, a wait is performed for the first communication connection to re-establish. If the wait is less than a predetermined duration, the method includes re-establishing, by the computing device, one or more channels for the first communication connection.
