i might be missing something here but i created a file like yours and have the same code, just simpler got rid of "" i tried to add val() and still got same output if i divide by 1000, i get -0.1d for last value i attached my text file, try it with this and you will now if it is your file formating or calypso PCM Test.txt

I depends on what you need from that feature. Wouldn't 3 circular path with 8 points be sufficient? For Accura i saw approx 1s for a point

I did not know this! Thanks for the nugget of wisdom. Rigidity is at 1.263, so pretty poor... by probing dynamics is at 30%, measuring force is at 200mN, Qualifying in Tensor. After playing around with it this gave me the best sigma value. But im open to try new qualification settings if you've had better luck.

I suppose I could use single points but were trying to keep cycle times down and we feel like scanning is faster. What would you recommend for a point count if we moved to single points. Im worried about increasing the magnitude of error on the measurement by going in through both sides. Historically, in our experience measuring from 2 sides has lead to more discrepancies in our results than good.

Perhaps IT can revert if system has a last version. If you send me that file i can check it when i will be at work ( 12hours from now ) and send it back. Just PM me or if it's not confidential you can possibly post it here.

Are you using the recommended Filter? Is there a reason you have to scan instead of using single points? (Its a quick easy check to change a strategy to single points to see if scanning dynamics are affecting your measurement. )

Still doing the same thing. No dice. Is there a way to just restore it to yesterday's date?

Then i would try to save that file as ANSI instead of UTF-8 - nothing more is comming to my mind. It should be really simple action: Open file in notepad copy last line and paste it change name save it There should be no whitespace so "5=Phil M" ( without quotes )

Restarted Calypso and the Computer. It was working before just tried to add the new employee's name at the end. Put an empty line at the end and still does the same thing.

Have you tried restarting Calypso? I don't think you have something bad in that file - i presume it was working before, you just added a line. I would try to add empty line on end of that file.

We have a new employee and I went to add their name to our list. Now when I try and run a program I am getting an error message saying the following. Can anyone Help me?

ooohhh... I forgot about just deleting it after the report was made.. That's easy...just wish there was away in PCM to just not have it on, then turn it on when out of tolerance.

What Richard shows in his video (those short videos are a really great way of communicating information clearly) will change the decimal places within that specific measurement plan. You can also change the global setting in Extras-Settings-Environment-Language if that is what you are looking for.

I don't know offhand about turning off the pdf output of the report via PCM, however, it is relatively easy to just delete the unwanted pdf after it is generated, if that would work for you. In the default report end pcm text file you can check if there are any out of spec values with a PCM code (something like inspectionToleranceState, I do not have immediate access to a pc to check the exact command), condition off of that to determine whether to delete or not. I would also recommend using an ifFileExists within the deletion portion of the code to verify the pdf was generated before attempting to delete it, for robustness.

Thanks Mike

Trying to find a way to automatically turn off a specific PiWeb report (lets say its called "report2") based if a program has any "red" features. I have up to 3 multi reports, with one of them just being a graph page if any features are out of tolerance ("red") but only have it outputting as a pdf. Problem is that it will create a blank pdf (just header data) if nothing is out of tolerance. Previous to Piweb, i have used the defineProtocol("#type","presentationProtocol") defineProtocol("#medium","pdf") to automatically turn on the custom printout and pdf. I may be looking in the wrong places to see what i need to do for Piweb. Note: I have Piweb setup to use very little user input ... ie.. I have remove the ability make pdfs, change default rows, etc....

Mike, The CAD file formats that are currently supported can be found below. https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2026/article/cmd_sys_import_cad.html If you have a suggestion for the software that you would like to share, such as the ability to import .QIF files you can share that with My Voice. https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/software/metrology/product/eaafdea8-9296-485d-82c1-cc6d1ca0eca2 After a quick search it looks like there is one entered for the .QIF support that you can add your vote too. https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/software/metrology/product/eaafdea8-9296-485d-82c1-cc6d1ca0eca2/request/f5cbc5a1-64d3-4316-98b7-7cdb7f37a3c0 Thank you and have a great day!

I understand that it is possible to import a .QIF file into Calypso - are there plans to extend this capability to ZEISS Inspect Optical 3D Pro? Thanks for your help

Hallo, ne kenn ich nicht bzw. weiss ich nicht genau was du meinst. Ich kann versuchen das nachzustellen, aber dafür müsste ich eine konkretere Vorstellung haben was du genau machst. Digitalisieren verstehe ich noch. Was meinst du genau mit Messreihe? Das was du vorher unter Digitalisieren zusammengefasst hast oder noch mehr? Was meinst du mit Teachen? Erstellung der Auswertungen unter Inspektion? Messung: nochmal ein anderer Begriff. Welche Vorgänge fasst du darunter zusammen? Neuberechnen: Meinst du die Auswertungen (Inspektionen) stehen und du lädst ein neues Mesh und bei der Neuberechnung auf Basis des neuen Mesh stürzt die Software ab? Oder meinst du Polygonisieren? Eventuell auch hilfreich: Mit was für einem Hardwareaufbau arbeitest du?

Hallo, beim Digitalisieren mit der Software 2026 habe ich das folgende Problem. Sobald ich nach einer durchgeführten Messreihe „Teachen“ möchte, bricht die Software zusammen. Obwohl die Messung durchgeführt wird, stürzt die Software ab, wenn sie neu berechnet wird. In der Software 2025 passiert das allerdings nicht! Hat noch jemand dieses Problem und möglicherweise die Lösung dafür? VG Sittik

Ironically, we are having trouble with save to MIBA failed errors when generating plots again. Historically this has always gone away when saving files to the C:\ drive instead of to the network. This has started happening recently when saving to the C:\ drive and it is interrupting our pallet runs. 1) Any ideas whats causing this? Could it be our corporate intrusion detection software? Our IT department swears its not but im not convinced... 2) Is there a way to forcibly continue this error so we do not lose our overnight runs? It is heartbreaking and I would rather just be missing one single plot image. The rest of the pallet always completes after clicking OK.

Prealignment is called "pre" because without positoning the mesh to the cad you can`t do anything. If your drawings dont state specific reference systems, you can use the prealignment as it should function as an best-fit alignment, like any other best-fit-alignment you could do as main aligment or a local best-fit you might need if your parts deviation from the ideal geometric form is "larger" and the software can`t tranlate from CAD to mesh. A drawing without a reference system is a flawed/ambigous drawing. In case of new projects I would always contact the customer and ask for a drawing according to the appropriate standards. With old projects this is of course not that easy 🙂 As a suggestion: Try using simple measurements that correspond to your manuell measurement systems before (virtuell calipers for example). That way alignments don`t matter that much.

@Pavan Kumar Chodisetty Hi, we have also many drawings without those specifications, so we are using the most stable elements allowing us to describe where are deviations comming from. We are hot forging company, so what is one cylinder in drawing, we sometimes use only half of cylinder due to die tools. You will need to figure out what will work at your situations.

Hi Both, Thanks for the insights. We are using T-Scan hawk 2 for scanning our parts and we use it for quality inspection of variety of parts (metal and plastic). We have been using the scanner and Zeiss inspect software for less than 6 months now. We had initial e-training from Zeiss on how to use the software and the scanner. Earlier we are measuring manually where possible. The issue is we don't have RPS or datums on any of our drawings. It will be a huge effort to include datums or RPS on the drawings as we have thousands of legacy drawings. In most cases, pre-alignment works fine with some minor deviations on the surface comparison. Sometimes the measurements that deviate from nominal, we are not confident if we are making the right evaluation. So we wanted to understand what is the trade-off between relying primarily on pre-alignment versus modifying our drawings to include datums or RPS to implement main alignment.
