That circle is too small to obtain plausible result.

Hi, what's the strategy for measuring the "CZ" position tolerance for the 5 cylinders indicated, using the Calypso 2020 release 7.0.12? Also, how is the deviation represented in piweb format? Thanks in advance.

I need to calculate the angle between the Ø99.5 circle and the cone

I found solution. The correct way is this: "C:\Program Files\Zeiss\INSPECT\2026\bin\ZEISS_INSPECT.exe" -eval "gom.script.userscript.Automatic_Control()"

I am not sure if you can do that. But here is a help from web https://zeiss.github.io/zeiss-inspect-app-api/2026/howtos/starting_options/starting_options.html#starting-zeiss-inspect-python-scripts

I found this https://zeiss.github.io/zeiss-inspect-app-api/2026/howtos/starting_options/starting_options.html and I changed the bat file with the correct way for 2026 Zeiss, using this import subprocess subprocess.call ("C:\Program Files\Zeiss\INSPECT\2026\bin\ZEISS_INSPECT.exe" -eval "gom.script.userscript.Automatic_Control()") but it doesn't wotk anymore.

Good morning, I have to automatically start a script and I tried to use this import subprocess subprocess.call ('"C:\Program Files\Zeiss\INSPECT\2026\bin\ZEISS_INSPECT.exe" -eval "import Automatic_Control"') putting it on a bat file, but it doesn't work (it flash a winodow). Automatic control is a simple GUI with a simple "Ciao" write using tkinter. This script works launching it directly from Apps. Ideas? Thank you very much for your support!

One more question: Can we also access other (non-inspection) settings this way? settingGet() seems to be specially deisgned for inspection settings. What about more general settings?

ISO and ASME will make datums as Outer Tangential. Then according to that norm is made measurement on element - geometry will use whatever you have on datum and it's evaluating measured element by it's axis determined by it's evaluation on element. ISO is making many sections of measured element and is making a circle from it - that's why you can not use ISO on cylinders smaller than 180° ( maybe that degree coverage has to be larger than 180° )

Simpel ausgedrückt: Auswertung nach ISO berechnet im Hintergrund alles so wie es die Norm vorgibt. Also wenn du einen Gaußzylinder programmiert hast, wird er für die Koaxialität automatisch in Pferch umgerechnet. Bei Auswertung nach Geometrie passiert das nicht. Da werden die Prüfelemente so berechnet wie sie erzeugt wurden. Gleiches gilt für Bezugssysteme.

Hallo, komplexes Thema. Zu Form und Lage kann ich nur eine Aukom Schulung empfehlen oder als abolutes minimum ein gutes Buch. Kurz: Das eine ist nach Norm (Iso 1101). Das andere nicht. Die Unterschiede hast du selber schon festgestellt (Ausgleichsalgorithmen) https://techguide.zeiss.com/de/zeiss-inspect-2026/article/cmd_inspection_check_concentricity.html#FCT0EEUBG

Ich möchte einen Zylinder auf Koaxialität zu einem anderen Zylinder prüfen. Das Ergebnis erscheint mir jedoch überhaupt nicht plausibel, da die Zylinder nach ISO 1101 als Hüll- bzw. Pferch berechnet werden. Daraufhin habe ich aus dem Bezugszylinder ein Bezugssystem erstellt und dieses im Bezugssystem von ISO 1101 auf Geometrie umgestellt. Das Ergebnis wirkt dadurch deutlich plausibler. Nun stellt sich für mich die Frage, ob ich bei der eigentlichen Prüfung ebenfalls ISO 1101 oder Geometrie verwenden sollte und worin genau der Unterschied zwischen beiden Einstellungen besteht.

Hallo Zolfagari, du kannst doch bei Notepad++ unter Language verschieden Programmiersprachen einstellen. Vielleicht ist ja eine dabei wo due verwenden kannst, und kannst sie dann noch farblich anpassen.

OMG, is it christmas, are you kidding us ? Hot swapping sensors automatically in the rack, without losing accuracy ? 😅😉 I'm speculating of course ....

@Jeff Frodermann The Compact XXT has been available in the US Market since January of this year. We've sold plenty systems configured with it and as Jeff mentioned, it's an ideal option when purchasing a system with a 7/7/6 measuring volume.

Thanks, @Jeffrey Penrod. I appreciate your feedback on MASS and the Compact XXT, especially the subtle hint to a possible effort to accomodate live sensor swapping without power down. If such an endeavor was successful, it would be a huge value add. It sounds like the Compact XXT may not be fully available in US markets yet, per our local distributor, but I am interested in trying one out as soon as they're available. Thanks again for weighing in on this!

The MASS sensor is actually the ideal setup for applications requiring the ViScan/LineScan/DotScan sensor. It allows the use of the more robust active VAST sensor where needed and flexibility to allow for alternate sensor configurations where needed. There are a great many ZEISS users that utilize the MASS system to take advantage of an VAST/XT or XTR, having a rotary table and still have the capability to use an optics sensor (IE - LineScan now with full scanning during RT rotation). LineScan is probably the most common MASS VAST + RDS combo. Note: swapping the sensor platforms out (via dovetail) requires powering the drives down and changing machine tabs within CALYPSO....but... stay tuned 🙂 The COMPACT XXT is essentially the same hardware as the TL3 with a different rotational point to conserve measuring volume. Same sensor plates and compatible between measurement plans without substantial adaptation. The intent is to increase measuring volume on smaller machines (think SPECTRUM 7/7/6) by shortening the sensor protrusion. This gains ~150mm of volume in every axis without having to adapt an "L" probe and use the sensor in the -Z orientation to get full X/Y volume use. Pick the configuration that works for you. This adds more options and flexibility to meet your specific requirements.

It's under Resources > Compatibility settings > For this measurement plan Fourth from the bottom is "Show discontinued report templates". Enable that. Also verify that your colleague has the "ZEISS Basic Reporting" application installed (or "ZEISS Basic Reporting64" if they're using Calypso 2024 or newer). It's not part of the standard install anymore so it might not be on the PC.

How do you re-enable them?

Hello again, I was able to speak with a Zeiss representative and over the phone and TeamViewer, I got the exact help I needed. Using a more accurate qualification method is exactly what was required to overcome the issue with the off measurements.

Yes, the compatibility setting that re-enables the old plots also shows or hides those buttons.

I don't have them anymore, but i am not totaly sure. You can still enable old protocols, so they may be visible once you enable it in program.

Hello, anyone encounter this error in Gear Pro? solutions? workarounds? Thanks.

For those that have "newer" versions of Calypso. Do the toggle buttons on top right of basic form plot go away at some point and you are only left with the first one (PiWeb)? I have v6.6, and was helping a colleague with v7.4 (or later) and he alleges his form plotting option is only the PiWeb toggle button. Thanks.

Ciao Frederico, It would be best if you measured a cone with several lanes, then you have the cone angle.
