dCC is an operator control pendant often referred to as a jogbox for a Coordinate Measuring Machine
(CMM). The pendant allows the operator to move the sensor portion of the CMM to a desired location in
the work volume. In addition to driving the machine, dCC allows the operator to pull up part programs on
the embedded tablet in the pendant. dCC is available either as a tethered wired version or a wireless
version.
This manual was written for Customers who own or intend to purchase the Hexagon Manufacturing
Intelligence (hereafter referred to simply as Hexagon) dCC Jogbox (hereafter referred to simply as Jogbox).
This document is a supplement to the operating manual of the CMM. Only after you have read and
understood both will you be able to operate the CMM safely with the Jogbox. Which functions you can run
from the Jogbox depends on which CMM is connected to it. Therefore, you will find the machine-specific
functions in the operating manual of the CMM that is connected to the Jogbox.
Keep the user manual in such a way that it is accessible when required. Ensure that the user manual is
always complete and in a readable state. The information it contains is essential to ensure the safety of the
equipment and personnel operating it. We therefore recommend you read it carefully before proceeding to
use the Jogbox or carrying out maintenance activities.
This documentation is only valid for the versions of the Jogbox described here. The figures and drawings
shown are not to scale. All dimensions are in millimeters. This user manual does not claim to be a
comprehensive technical description. All the information on the functionalities and specifications hold good
only in conjunction with the original accessories of the manufacturer.
This Jogbox is intended for use for operating CMMs that are equipped with a DC and B3C controller.

Note. You may print as many copies of this copyrighted manual as desired for personal

EMERGENCY STOP
This latching pushbutton causes an ESTOP condition when depressed. The Emergency Stop button is
connected so that it interrupts the supply to the motor drive circuits by de-energizing a control relay. Joystick
control is unavailable in this condition. To re-enable system, the ESTOP pushbutton must be unlatched; to
do this rotate it clockwise 1/4 turn. Program may need to be reloaded and the MACH START pushbutton
depressed (for about 2 seconds) after the cause of the emergency stop is rectified.
SPEED CONTROL
This knob allows for a variable increase or decrease of machine movement.
ENABLE
Must be pressed and held while deflecting the joystick to allow the machine to move. This prevents
unwanted movement. This button has no function in jogbox mode as the CMM has control of this button.
JOYSTICK
Provides operator with an independent means of moving the machine's axes at variable speeds. A
connection to the three DC servo motors within the controller allows independent axis selection and

The JOGBOX keypad contains controls for operating the machine. The symbols in the following list of
functions refer to the symbols on the Keypad diagram. The functions of these buttons are:
PROBE ENABLE: This informs the operator of one of the following three conditions:
•NOT ILLUMINATED - The probe is enabled, but the controller
will not report hits. Note: Since all probe signals are ignored by
the controller, the machine will not stop moving after the probe
has registered a hit.
Attempting to take points while this condition exists may
result in damage to probe.
•ILLUMINATED - The probe is enabled and the host computer is
ready to accept a point location.
•FLASHING - This temporarily disables probe. This feature is
useful when manually aligning a part to a machine axis or when
cleaning a probe tip. Hits taken will not be recorded. Re-enabling
the probe changes the indicator light from flashing to illuminated.

toggled to vary the way probe is manually steered. This
promotes probe contact at right angles to part, which improves
measuring accuracy and repeatability.
