How to control my lights and laser within the ZEISS Correlate software?

If you have a Testing Controller or ARAMIS Controller and are unable to control the lights within the software, you likely need to update your IP settings to establish a connection.

  1. If you are correctly connected to your ARAMIS or Testing Controller, you should be able to toggle your aiming laser(s) and light(s) using the two furthest most right icons in the Zeiss Correlate software as shown below.

  2. If you are unable to toggle the icons, you may not have correctly set up the system. Open the "Set Up" workspace (1), click on the "Set Up Sensor" icon (2), then click next once in the dialog box on the bottom right side of the screen and set illumination to "Constant" (3). Then proceed through the other set up values, click next, then click finish.

  3. If you are still unable to control the laser(s) or light(s), you may need to check if the controller IP address settings are correct. First open a web browser (internet connection is not required or needed) and in the address bar type 192.168.6.200. You should see the following page if the controller is communicating with the computer.

  4. If this page does not load, you will need to check the IP address settings of the Ethernet adapter connected to the controller. First, type "run" in the Windows search bar and hit "Enter" on the keyboard. Once the "Run" dialog appears, enter "ncpa.cpl" and click "OK".

  5. In the "Network Connections" dialog box, double-click on the controller Ethernet adapter (1), select "Properties" (2), double-click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" (3). Check is the following are set and if not, make the necessary changes. First, select the radial button for "Use the following IP address:" and enter 192.168.6.1 for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask (4). Next select "Advanced" (5). In "IP Settings" and "IP addresses" add the following addresses, 192.168.4.1, 192.168.14.1 and 192.168.254.1, all with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (6). Click "OK" on all dialog boxes to finish.

  6. You should also check the configuration properties for that same Ethernet adapter. With the "Network Connections" dialog box still open, double-click again on the controller Ethernet adapter (1), select "Properties" (2) and select "Configure..." (3).

  7. In the dialog box that opens go to "Advanced". Then find "Flow Control" and set this to "Disabled" and set "JumboPacket" to "9KB" or "9014 bytes" (depends on the type of adapter being used). Click "OK" on all dialog boxes. You should then be able to go back to the web browser and search for the controller IP address, 192.168.6.200.

  8. If you have already initialized the ARAMIS system, you will need to de-initialize by clicking the "Initialize/Close Sensor" icon in the top right of the Zeiss Correlate software (1). You should then run a system analysis by going to "Help -> System Analysis -> Sensor" (2). If the controller is now communicating correctly with the software, you should see it listed both an icon of the sensor in the images and either the system name plus "Testing Controller" or "ARAMIS Controller" listed next to it (3). You can then click "OK". The laser(s) and light(s) should now be controllable through the software. You may need to run the system setup one more time in order for this to take effect.
