Dmp Monitoring (Optional); Dmp Server; Backup Dmp Server; Bringing Dmp Server To A Domain - 3D Systems DMP Flex 350 User Manual

4.6 DMP Monitoring (optional)
The DMP Monitoring application is an optional piece of software that allows the user to simultaneously record
images and meltpool data of the printing process. It consists of two major data acquisition systems, i.e. DMP
Vision and DMP Meltpool.
The system can be used as a real-time data acquisition system, allowing the user to inspect the powder bed for any
inconsistencies as well as the meltpool data. In addition, the system can be used off-line on a separate PC to review
previously recorded data and create a separate analysis.
If installed, please refer to InfoCenter for the DMP Monitoring User Guide (p/n: 15D77).
4.7 DMP Server
The DMP Server communicates between all DMP printers and any user PC's in the network. It is a Windows service without user
interface that is booted automatically when starting up the software. It creates a log (C:\3D Systems\Logs\DMP Machine Server\
DMP Machine Server.log) where it records when a started or shut down occurs and when components connect/disconnect.
So there is no longer the need/possibility to start the DMP Machine server application manually. If there is still an icon on your
desktop, this can be removed.
4.8 Backup DMP Server
All your important machine and material parameters can be
backed up easily.
Make certain the complete C:\DMP folder is backed up
automatically. The easiest way to do this is by using Windows
Backup: Windows Start > Control Panel > Backup and restore
4.9 Bringing DMP Server to a Domain
The DMP server is configured to communicate with your machine(s) when it is delivered. Joining it to a domain will require to
repeat the configuration of the server and may lead to unwanted effects (like automatic updates, computer restarting, software
not working anymore, etc.).
If your company requires the DMPserver joining the company domain take into account that:
• This might require you to set up the DMP Server configuration again, especially if you will log on as a different user .
• Make sure all client PC's (e.g. for job file preparation) can access the DMPserver.
• Preferably configure as a fixed IP machine.
• Make sure the local user "LM" is always logged on.
• The DMP Server may become invisible to the machines, so the machine will not work properly anymore.
• Never bring the DMP Flex 350 machines into a domain.
If the machines and the DMP Server are in a different domain or VLAN, your IT administrator needs to ensure both machines
can access each other.
