    Innovations Lab Software WECO Tracer

    Hello All,

    Please bare with me as my knowledge in this area is somewhat limited and I am hoping somebody can offer some insight to this issue.

    I work at an Optical Store as an optician and we have a lab using a Gerber Triump Tracer with innovations software etc.
    The tracer table needed to be replaced and to avoid paying thousands of dollars for a re-furb I suggested using a WECO Tracer which we had lying around. I was told I require a Current Loop card with this WECO tracer in order for it to communicate with the software and the rest of the machines. My Question is

    1) Is a Current Loop card required if it has a RS-232 interface. Why is it required?

    2) Is there a cheaper place to buy these tracer tables for the gerber triumph tracer?


    Thanks in advance to all,

    Regards!

    Whether you must use a current loop card with the Weco tracer depends on the model. Some Weco tracers have a "DVI" serial interface; if yours does, you can connect it directly to Innovations.

    The presence of a serial port on the tracer is not an indication that it does in fact offer the DVI serial interface.
