Attached is a text file I use for data retention. Use as you wish. Sample PCM for file saving.txt

What settings do you use for this type of surface coverage on a graphic?

done it both ways... also created nominal points 6 ways... it appears that when joint tow "radius" curves together .. it starts adding points along the "straight" portion of the curve... so if the radius point ends say at 2.5" X and the original curve no matter if i filter the two ends out or not ... when recalled back into 1 curve using several methods... the recalled points now extend to say 3.5" X .... its really weird. Zeiss tried filtering, not filtering, recalling to get nominals, importing nominals (3 ways) and creating nominals from the sectioning of the model.... everyone got almost the exact same reading....but random..... they think it may have to do with the original points are in a pattern... but they do not know. they are dissecting the program

or Then Choose what you need. Just remember to use variables otherwise you will be overwriting the same file over and over.

Did you tried to use PCM file not *.bat but *.txt? inspection_post_load_pcm.txt in that file you can try to use command called systemCall if you have PCM module and then your command would look like (as example) systemCall("C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe Q:\CMM Programs\Change Log.txt") systemCall("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe Q:\CMM Programs\CMM Bubble.pdf") you can try to test this on *.bat file but I'm not sure if those commands will work in *.bat file this txt file you can placed inside each specific inspection plan folder this way it can be customized per program. The only downside is that txt file you are opening can be edited, so I would recommend to use PDFs for all files. To open PDF files in separate windows you need to change option in Adobe settings Or to try to add extra command /n in the systemCall command systemCall("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe /n Q:\CMM Programs\Change Log.pdf") systemCall("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe /n Q:\CMM Programs\CMM Bubble.pdf") when both files would be used as pdf file type. I hope that will help.

Hi all, When I created my MasterProbe on a new machine tab for my offline seat it created it as RDS-CAA. I want to add an angle of 90/0 to the Masterprobe to qualify a virtual XXT rack, but I can't figure out how to change the MasterProbe to passive. I can't add any angles to it as long as it's CAA.

Here is a Zeiss resource on the topic of probe types: The Styli Handbook https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1113662

lol as an instructor myself i refer to it as "the most powerful window in all of CALYPSO." it turns you from a good programmer into a good AND FAST programmer.

Hi, i was able to do that like this. have a CAD model of that frame ( to be able to do alignment ) scan that frame with ref. points on that frame do an alignment in which you will export data export all ref. points ( it's a xml so you can easily remove unwanted ref. points ) now you can import that fram in setings. All you have to do is correctly set temperature and material in export and import.

I would look into building an enclosure for the machine. They are small enough that it shouldn't be too expensive.

I have an ATOS Template setup, recently we had our frame have photogrammetry. Is there somewhere i can read over the steps to import that ref frame points and align it to the current location of the scan?

Sorry guys, classic case of not googling my question before I post. This easily achieved by using the start command start "" "Q:\CMM Programs\Change Log.txt" start "" "Q:\CMM Programs\CMM Bubble.pdf"

Simple question, but does anyone have a good strategy to allow inspection_post_load.bat to open two files at the same time? Current state: I use this to open a change log/comment log text file. I also want it to display the pdf bubble print. It works, except the operator must close the text file before the bubble print opens. Desired state: I want both the text file and the pdf to open at the same time. I know I could use inspection_post_load.bat to call another script that will open both at the same time, but I'm trying to make this simple for the guys I'll be training to do this.

It is a little late. But if you want to have features measured regardless your conditions inside inspection plan you can add "dummy" extra alignments and placed then on top of the program and if require add them to the miniplan. This method will "enforce" measurement features that are "excluded" later by conditions. If you still have issues with this even when you are 100% sure that you made measurement - try to check your filters and outliers as they might "kill" to many points. If you working with cones then you might re-think measuring strategy as in specific situations you might have issues with very short cones, or with cones with huge/very small cone angles. I hope that can help.

A little late - but If you have PCM module. You can create CSV file the way you want by creating file and adding lines in it by PCM command with all data you need. This way you will be able to open CSV as comma/semicolon separated file.

I agree with Eric - you should have full path to the CAD file. I used this command when I made huge multi-size-type-operation Inspection plan. 3 part families, 10 sizes in each, 3 OPs per family part. 90 programs in 1. Barcode scanner was used to get data for headers and conditions. I was reloading CAD files and different curve scans - all worked fine but I had full path to the files.

Do you filter the individual segment before joining them? Don't do that. Join the unfiltered segments and filter the resulting curve. I did this quite often, and it should work.

Update... had teams meeting with Zeiss.... showed them what was going on... and they could not believe what it was doing... but it was... they are looking into it and when I get an answer, I will Post....

Die Dauer kannst du ja bestimmen wie oft du eintauchst. Mitutoyo gibt dir ein Programm dazu, bei dem der Taster immer eintaucht und rausfährt. Wie oft das passiert kannst du bestimmen. Dann ist es eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit und Druckluft. Wenn du deinen Finger reinhältst wird der nicht mal feucht. Wenn du etwas Staub drauf hast wird er sauber. Wenn der Taster aber Ölig und schmutzig ist bringt der nichts.

Moin Sven, Vielen Dank für deine Info! Macht der Stylicleaner die Messkugel nicht richtig sauber oder dauert dir das zu lang?

Wir haben eine Mitutoyo CMM mit dem Stylicleaner. Für den Preis und was der bringt würde ich den nicht mehr kaufen. Auch Mitutoyo sagt selbst, dass eine Gründliche regelmäßige Reinigung von Hand sein muss. Ich benutze die Reinigungstücher von Zeiss und die Reinigungsknete von Renishaw um die Taster vom Teller bis zu Kugel zu reinigen.

Moin, Generell ist das System Sylicleaner ja recht smart. Nur für Sterntaster benötigt das doch ziemlich viel Platz abgesehen von dem ziemlich happigen Preis. Es wird mit Isopropylalkohol gereinigt und in Stylicleaner ist die Tastkugel das primäre Ziel. Meine Frage war ja auch wie Ihr denn den Kohlefaserschaft und den XXT Teller selber reinigt. Da mache ich mir etwas Sorgen das das Öl aus der Luft in die Kohlefaserschäfte eindringt und diese dann beschädigt.

Quality assurance begins before the software is delivered 😉

As Eric mentioned add the complete path to the cad file. Whereas fileExists accepts relative paths loadCADFile (like most pcm commands) doesn't. Btw actualInspectionsDir() is no valid command, use getActualInspectionDir() or directoryPath("actualinspection").

Write a macro with fixed path lengths
