calypso corrupting the rest of inspection upon saving


Recommended Posts

Hi all. We have a problem where, upon saving in calypso on an unfinished inspection, when I start again the program to finish the job, the alignment is shifted and the remaining actuals that I probe are also off. My base alignment is an RPS alignment and I notice that the action of saving, changes the "value A" of .0003 in the break condition of the RPS alignment. It goes from something like .0003 to 37.3 !!! The original break condition value A is .001.

Thank you

I start it again with the "start measurement" button, with "all characteristics" ON and "clear existing results" OFF. The program has also has a start alignment. Have you ever heard of that problem before? Thank you for the fast reply !

I already had a look at the pcm code in the program. There is one bit that I don’t understand and I’ll come back on it next week at work and post on the forum. But still it would be strange that pcm code cause the alignment bestfit (itterations) value to corrupt itself upon saving.
That depends on the code and when it's executed. Normally it shouldn't be a problem, but some people are quite creative 😉

Fixed translations defined in the alignment (special functions) may also lead to unwanted shifts.
But with set base alignment to zero this shouldn't happen.
Maybe this will help?

I have had issues with constructions, recalled points/features, and shifts/rotations in Base Alignments. Not always, but just enough that I eliminate that variable. That is why I only use probed features in Base Alignments and the features are the zeroes. Then I use a Standard, 3D Best Fit, etc alignment for features. If I need a Feature from the Base Alignment I make another feature and use recall points.

The 3D Best Fit with tooling balls is easy now that I understand it.

For clarity, the clear existing results should be check-marked.
The start alignment should be selected in the selection menu with the manual alignment chosen.
Make sure the features measured for the start alignment are taken in the correct order. Sometimes programmers will label features like 1, 2, 3 and not the position, like left front, right, ect.
