Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of a computing device for detecting defective hardware of an image measurement machine, the method comprising: creating, in a non-transitory storage medium, a hardware-recording table that records abnormalities occurred in hardware components of the image measurement machine, each of the abnormalities corresponding to a serial number, a name of the hardware component having the abnormality, and one or more solutions for solving the abnormality of the hardware component; detecting device connecting faults of the image measurement machine by detecting whether all hardware control cards of the image measurement machine connect to the computing device, each of the hardware control cards connecting to one or more hardware components, wherein the hardware control cards comprise a programmable multi-axes controller card, a light control card, a motor control card, and a handle control card; detecting port connecting faults of the image measurement machine by detecting whether serial ports connected to each of the hardware control cards match preset serial ports; obtaining status information transmitted by the hardware components connected to each of the hardware control cards, and detecting whether any one of the hardware components has an abnormality according to the status information; searching a corresponding serial number and solutions for the abnormality from the hardware-recording table, upon the condition that the image measurement machine has device connecting faults, port connecting faults, or any one of the hardware components has an abnormality; and displaying the corresponding serial number and the solutions on a display screen of the computing device.
