Anyone have this setup? Is it possible?

Cant see how or why you would want to. None of the CMM softwares that I know will run more than one instance of itself and PCDMIS will only run one program online.

Are you trying to use this one PC as a server for your files?
That can easily be done, but each CMM will still require its own PC for the controller to drive off of.

Just wondering from a budget perspective. I'm positive it's possible, but from a marketing perspective it would be too much work :P

Im curious why you're certain it's possible, explain how.

Well, I think it is possible to run more than 1 cmm from the same PC at the same time. When you open a program (V3.5 and up) you can select from CMM1 or offline. That leads me to think that there can be a CMM2, CMM3, etc., one for each machine. The question then becomes, do you really want to? With all the problems that Pcdmis has been having lately, would you want to try to make it run more than one at a time?
