In PROG mode, the TOOL port is automatically set to MEWTOCOL-COM mode
even if program controlled mode has been selected. This way it is always
possible to communicate in PROG mode with a programming software like
FPWIN Pro.
8.6.6.1 1:1 Communication with Micro-Imagechecker
The FPΣ and Micro-Imagechecker A100/A200 are connected using an RS232C cable. The
results of the scan are stored in the data registers of the FPΣ.
