Option similar to pallet run?

[[Ru...]]

I'm wondering if there is any option similar to pallet run outside of autorun? I have a fixture with 6 locations. The measurement plan is setup to inspect all locations in one run, and the characteristics are grouped for fixture locations 1-6. The problem I'm facing is the run charts in PiWeb will show for location 1, then there will be a another run chart for for location 2 and so on. I would like the results of the 6 locations to show in one run chart. I believe that means they would all need to be the same characteristic. The one thought I had while typing this would be to loop the measurement plan but offset the alignment for each loop. Essentially what the pallet run does. Not sure if this is even possible? This is the only high volume part that we check and am hoping I don't need to be switching back and forth from auto run all day. Running Calypso 2020

I assume you're looking for a solution without extra cost. So not really an "option" you'd have to pay for 🙂

One idea would be to use a secondary alignment that's part of the loop and gets shifted by a fixed offset in every iteration. You would need a feature like a theoretical point with formulas utilizing the loop counter to calculate the offset (e.g. 12.5 * LOOP1) and use it for X/Y/Z zero in the alignment. But I never tried if this would actually work.
One problem is that you probably need to shift in machine coordinates, not in the base alignment, which is not so easy to achieve. I once made an experimental measurement plan that was able to shift stored alignments in machine coordinates, but I never touched it since then and don't remember what I did. All I know is that it was very tricky.

If you have option PCM, you can define a parameter to be 0 at the start and add up the distance per iteration. With a formula in your coordinate system containing this parameter. Just a thought

maybe not what you need but could give ideas:

Israel, what do you use to capture your screen to gif?

Not Isreal, but OBS is the easiest to use, and then I just use an online converter.

screenpresso has the option to record directly on gif...
There are also some online tools, just google: convert mp4 to gif

In our company we don’t set the base alignment in the measuring programs..
We set it in the Fixture System and all the programs executed in same Fixture are running with the same alignment..
Then generate displacements or part position relocation is easy and doesn’t need any program adapt.

You could set a characteristic attribute on Dimension 1 for each Pallet location. Then in your run chart, apply the filter Characteristic attribute X = Dimension 1. This would work on a onesie-twosie basis.

Or setup a template where you have a characteristic table grouped by > characteristic attribute > Characteristic Number and you can assign the appropriate characteristic attribute (ie. bubble #1 to all Dim 1 for each Pallet) and it will automatically group them into run charts.

Probably not doing the best job at articulating the steps but it would be a really easy problem to solve without actually changing anything about the program itself.
