The **tempFileString** mentioned above is actually the App's UUID which you can find in the App's properties or its `metainfo.json` file (App Explorer).

Does anyone know if generateTabelColumn() is somehow able to control the position of a newly inserted column? (for example, insert as 15th column from the left) We want to import such a table to a CAQ system, and for this we need to order a custom import module. Now the manufacturer requests example files and I'm not even sure if the file I provide today will always look the same in the future, because I can't control where generateTable Column() puts a new column. Of course they could make the import module search for the column name first, but this would make it more complex, as in "more expensive".

Ein Versuch bisher: Je eine Seite wird mit einem Formwerkzeug hergestellt. Ich habe die Schräge oben und unten mit einer Geraden gescannt, einen Schnittpunkt gemacht für Z null und dann einen Punk für das Maß 21,2. Der Schnitt und der Punkt für 21,2 bilden ein Koordinatensystem von wo ich dann oben und unten einen Raumpunkt auf der schräge mache die genau 2,74mm ergeben. Danach eine Gerade daraus gemacht und den Rest dazu auszuwerten. Mal sehen wie stabil das funktioniert.

As far as as position on a countersink. You will presumably machine both the thread and csink at the same time, theoretically they should be close within a few tenths. Since they give you 0.235" max and a regular NASM csink for .138-32 helicoil is 0.180" - 0.210", you can give yourself a massive tolerance by machining the diameter within that range. Unless I got totally confused by LMC and how it works here.

Since they are giving you the direction to measure the minor diameter of the thread - here is how I typically measure those types of features. 4 or 5 linear scans; slow with very tight point spacing; 1/3 stdDev outlier looped 3 times. This will remove the majority of the points where the stylus falls into the "pitch" of the thread. Give it a shot, and I hope it nets what you are looking for.

Assuming latest asme 14.5 What do you do with it and how do you do it on the CMM? My thoughts are that the Ø.000L position would apply to the thread and the countersink too; 14.5 doesnt mention much about countersinks but it does say that coaxial features "such as counterbores" (which a countersink is also a coaxial feature) would share the same positional tolerance since it is listed under. But putting LMC on a Max feature? Secondly, the position of the thread itself. Customer has a spec that defines position of a thread to be the pitch diameter, which isn't something we can measure size of. To get any result off the pitch diameter I need thread locators. But then still no tolerance off LMC. So I would first have to try to measure the minor dia, using a max inscribed cylinder with some vertical scan paths to try to get a size to calculate for MMB on -F-, then try to measure the countersink diameter if possible (which might not even exist due to the magic of MAX limits), then install locators and measure and ignore all the LMC since I cant apply it and only rely on MMB from -F-?

In the past, I've taken to excel output as presented by Calypso, and added an additional sheet with our company formatted report. Use basic excel function to copy numbers from the Calypso sheet to the company sheet. Save the excel file as the part number, and delete the actuals on the Calypso sheet. Then reference this excel workbook with the program. Calypso will fill in the data on the first sheet, and excel function will populate the data into the company formatted report.

Anyone else having trouble getting into the portal? I click sign in, page loads, then loads back into the login screen. Seems to happen every once in a while.

These Picatinny Rails were designed to either by measured optically or with a hard gage.

Thank you... i can Frankenstein most of this and I believe I can get it to work now... thank you.. thank you.

Together with @Calyps089 we found culprit - it was corrupted "actuals" file carrying text with header info ( like file "protheadpara" ) This file is loaded with program and holds actual data ( calculated ones ) so it can be empty or missing to freely open program 🙂

https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=552028 Just follow that and you will be golden.

Yes you can run from a network drive just be aware there can be issues with the programs running slower or having hang ups if the network is having issues.

Can I have my programs saved on a network drive and use that to run the programs on various CMMs instead of having separate copies of the programs on each CMM?

Thank you very much! I did everything i wanted 😄

Hallo Kurort, Some basics are covered in this video. If you want to display something on every report page, make sure to edit the "Report Master". The keywords need to be defined in the project keywords and must be the same as used on the report page. Nanno

Hi, you should look for reports on knowledgebase on portal or find some youtube videos In nutshell - you make changes to report template by right clicking on template and selecting "Edit template" ( or report ) After changes you have to export this template into new or existing app.

Don't know what to say. Wish it did work here. I wonder what the difference is.

Hallo Herr Piotrowski, grundsätzlich sollte sich so etwas mit einer entsprechenden Messungstabelle und einer erweiterten Sortierung realisieren lassen. Für die Visualisierung könnte zusätzlich ein Säulendiagramm in der Zeilenvorlage der Tabelle verwendet werden, um die Häufigkeit der einzelnen Fehler direkt darzustellen. Da die konkrete Umsetzung jedoch stark von der Datenstruktur und den importierten Merkmalen abhängt, würde ich empfehlen, hierfür ein Support-Ticket zu erstellen. Dann können wir uns die Konfiguration und die verfügbaren Datenfelder direkt auf Ihrem System ansehen und gemeinsam prüfen, wie sich die gewünschte TOP-Fehler-Auswertung am besten umsetzen lässt. Viele Grüße

Hi! I have problem with customization of report template. Can someone tell me, how to make template (as on picture below) default? I want every new page has the same keywords like in the bottom of the page, but still i need to change it manualy (2nd picture, program doesnt recognise some keyword)

Hallo Herr Liller, ich habe das Verhalten mit PiWeb 2026 R2 getestet und konnte den Import benannter Textfelder sowohl von lokalen Laufwerken als auch von Netzwerkpfaden erfolgreich durchführen. Daher würde ich zunächst vermuten, dass hier ein umgebungs- oder konfigurationsspezifisches Problem vorliegt. Bitte erstellen Sie gerne ein Support-Ticket und fügen Sie nach Möglichkeit folgende Informationen bei: PiWeb-Version Verwendeter Netzwerkpfad (UNC-Pfad oder gemapptes Laufwerk) Screenshot der Fehlermeldung bzw. des Verhaltens Informationen dazu, ob der Zugriff auf die Datei über den Windows Explorer funktioniert Dann können wir das Verhalten im Detail prüfen. Viele Grüße

Yes, this can be achieved in Designer. Select the line plot and open its properties. Under Additional X-axes, add the Manufacturing Time attribute. With the line plot selected, click the Advanced Sorting button and configure sorting by Manufacturing Time (ascending or descending). This will display the measurements in manufacturing time order instead of the default inspection order and works automatically for all report viewers. Since you mentioned that you are new to Designer, I would also recommend attending the basic PiWeb Designer training if you have not already done so. Topics such as chart configuration, sorting, filtering, and report design are covered there and can save a lot of trial and error later on.

Here is powershell script which will cover changes. observer.ps1 - script itself - correct paths and names for files observer-task.vbs - script for windows task scheduller - correct full path to "observer.ps1" - make new task -> trigger = login -> action = this file it will run hidden This script will result in this log file [2026-10-13 12:44:17] SERVICE STARTED (Monitoring 'operid' every 1s) [2026-10-13 12:44:17] operid changed: m.jansky [2026-10-13 12:45:17] operid changed: zeiss [2026-10-13 12:49:13] SERVICE STARTED (Monitoring 'operid' every 1s) [2026-10-13 12:49:13] operid changed: m.jansky [2026-10-13 12:50:20] SERVICE TERMINATED observer.ps1observer-task.vbs

As long as two things are true, your file construction should work. 1. All of the u_xxx variables are available. 1.1 Test each u_xxx variable independently for its result. 2. Both systems use this path for Results: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO\workarea\results\ This is set in the Environment menu as shown, you appear to be using the default path. (Ignore all the other options in my image, I play around with things a lot).

It's a start, I appreciate the effort and time involved.
