New mouse and keyboard. Started happening with the old ones too.

I think unfortunatelly no except for licensed DMIS export. I am still working on my app to do this output - for now just in pdf, but i would like to export it as user select.

I would need what approach you want to go. Mass edit of inspection file changing ".bat" to another executable or another approach? I am using vbs script which hides batch window while having scheduled task. CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False Using it like hidden.vbs do_work.bat

Hi everyone, I sent a CALYPSO 2023 measurement program to one of our suppliers, but they use a different CMM software and cannot open the program properly. They have asked for documentation showing: The complete measurement sequence Where each feature is measured (points, depth, and measurement method) The probes/stylus systems used Is there an easy way in CALYPSO 2023 to export or print all this information (for example as a PDF or report), instead of taking screenshots of every feature? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Chad, Thanks for the tipp. I already use this but unfortunately the terminal window from calling Process ist still open because I have to wait until the image viewer is started to send via IPC a signal. Otherwise the window is not in focus. This take around 1-2 second´s and the terminal is still open this time. David, Thanks but I prefer to use vi 🙂 or in this face find, grep,awk ... The big question is: If I change the inspection/inspset files, will CALYPSO take account of it or is it ignored or more worse: Is running but use save program will overwrite the changed files with old values. Martin, Fine, but what do you use to do this?

I've used and liked this approach - since i have a nominal points, then just create a point cloud from point's actuals and instead of data from mesh you select this point cloud.

Cleaning the mouse and keyboard has always helped me.

Use something like the splitline tool in solidworks to create defined target zones, perhaps like .5mm, 1mmn, or 2mm in diameter. You can defined the coordinates where you want. Then use those zones to create a patch surface and use that surface for profile.

This started a few weeks ago, When I click on a feature and and then click on another feature, it acts like I used the control key to highlight both at the same time. And it continues until I click the feature again or click on a blank space. Using s new keyboard too. This does not happen in Word or Excel documents. This is annoying as when I want to group features together I have to make sure there are not any features that I dont want to group. Any suggestions? Calypso 2023. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, It has recently come to my attention that I am getting different measurements while using different angles on my RDS-CAA head. Checking a 2.49969 Ring in the same spot with A+B at 0° it's perfect. Then using B at 35° and again at 45° in the same locations yields different results. I am using the 35° method to ID grooves in customer parts that have ±0.001 tolerance. This is right after requalifying the probe being used as well. With this much of a discrepancy from straight to angled, I'm wondering if I need to try a disc probe and stop using the articulation of the RDS head. Any suggestions or ideas on what I could/should try to make this better or is it "Go with a disc" at this point? Attached is a PDF of the 35°, 45°, and straight scans. The screen capture is of how I am doing the scans for the angled measurements. For the X axis measurements I have "A" at 0° with "B" at -35° and 35° while for the Y axis "A" is turned to 90° and then "B" repeats the -35° and 35° angles. 7-27-26 35-45 DEG CHECK.pdf

you can make the VBS script run in a hidden window by using the "0" parameter. For example, I run a lot of .bat files but I want the terminal window hidden from operators, so I use something like this. Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c C:\Path\To\your_file.bat", 0, False

That's really good info, thanks!

what i ended up doing is since I already have a pcm code to rename and move the reports, then delete the original.. i just used the inspectionToleranceState as a condition to not rename and copy.. just delete.

They are calling for a curve defined by area from C to D, then from E to F, then from G to H and evaluated simultaneously.

Ich würde gerne die 3 Messstellen auf 1 Diagramm anzeigen lassen und dann 12 Ergebnisse Wiederholungen von den anderen erstellen lassen

I would make one curve, recall measured points from individual curves and mask all points except for needed areas. But you can also measure that as one curve instead of measuring individual curves. I think they would like to have one result instead of 12 and at one common alignment.

Hello Nanno, Thank you for your reply. I was able to install Zeiss Inpect by logging into the services in the browser. Thanks a lot

Hallo zusammen und zwar wurde die Zeichnung geändert, und muss jetzt bei der Linienform anstatt einzeln zusammen Messbereiche messen. Soll ich lieber einzelne Kurven ausgeben oder kann ich eine Kurve erstellen mit mehreren Segmenten. Bitte um Ratschläge wie ihr das am besten machen würdet

I can handle that, but i would need to know what to do - what changes you need?

Hello experts, We have around 1,500 programmes, the majority of which run via Autorun. To display the workpiece positioning status, we use ‘CNC → Measurement Sequence Information for CNC start-up'. This does not link directly to an image, but rather to a small script that launches a simple and secure image viewer. For historical reasons, this is a *.bat command script that has many drawbacks. We would like to replace it with VB/Perl/Python... However, to do this, we would have to open more than 600 programes manually to change the link from XXX.bat to, for example, XXX.vb. This is not an option. Simply call from this *.bat script a VB script lead to open an terminal window ( one of the big drawbacks..) for up to seconds. This should be mainly suppressed. Is there a way to run this change as a batch job? The entries are contained in the inspection/inspset files.. Best Regards Karsten

Hello Dogan, Sorry, I was out of Office 😞 We use the "Action → Lock Measurement" feature to allow the user to enter a value in the "Approval Status" database field after the measurement. However, by this point the PDF files have already been generated and do not contain any indication that the measurement has been locked. We therefore initiate a further action by running a script via “Action → Open File”. This script will then rename the generated file so that it is clear that this measurement has been locked. However, to locate the file unambiguously, I need the index that CALYPSO appends to the file name. If the PiWeb log is listed under index 3, I need to know that I must look for the file extension *(3).pdf. An internal variable is of no use to me unless CALYPSO informs PiWeb of the index used to create PDF files for the current PiWeb form.

Hello, we are investigating the issue. As workaround you can log into the services in the browser. Nanno

Hi, The point about measuring specific style points instead of relying only on a full surface profile is really helpful. Defining the correct reference geometry first can make the inspection results much more meaningful and easier to compare. I also like exploring for creative text styles when preparing clear measurement reports, labels, or presentation headings.

Dear Russell, Intersection deviation (einschneiderabweichung) In the Create Reference Points window, measure the intersection deviation. If the deviation is greater than 0.1 pixel, the system is likely decalibrated. Reference points position From the first image, verify the position of the reference points. There is a button on the left side in the live images; use it to view the reference points in the Measurements volume (inside or outside the measurement volume) and confirm their placement. Image brightness The images appear slightly dark. Please increase scene brightness or camera exposure to improve visibility of the markers. Reference points orientation Adjust the position of the reference points so they are more perpendicular to the camera. A large angle could cause the markers to appear elliptical and not be detected reliably. Best regards, Mohamed
