LOCAL AND DISTANT ARMS
RDS Toolbox doesn’t manage only the currently connected arm but stores the history of all the connected
arms on the computer. Thus, it is possible to get information of any arm that has been previously connected
to the computer. All these “historic” arms constitute the local arms database.
However, the other arms (“Distant arms”) can still be manage by downloading their data from the
HEXAGON Server.
