[Ri...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hello all, I come from a PcDmis background and one of the most helpful things was having a popup tell the user how to setup the part on the machine. Does Calypso have a feature similar to this? When clicking run there are boxes labeled 'comment' or 'notes' that would reasonably be for this, but they appear non-editable.

[Ri...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 If you just want to add a comment it is found under Resources - Measurement Plan Comment. If you go to Plan - Measurement Run Info on Start - Select; you can select any file to open when the operator clicks on the User Information button inside of the run screen. Some people haves pictures, but it can be any type of file, so videos, powerpoints, etc can all be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 To add to Richard's post. Only 1 file can be attached, however, hyperlinks to other files can be used to present additional information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 While it isn't as easy and straight forward as the PcDmis method, that works. Thanks for the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I use Text element for mine, I put it at the top of the characteristics list and name it SET UP. I type in a step by step process including how the part goes on the fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Za...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Text element is no longer in newer versions calypso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Text Element is still available on V7.0 but it doesn't print in either PiWeb or custom printout. Could still be used to store info.Screenshot 2020-12-09 140741.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they also give us tolerance calculation by absolute values, you might even hear me sing hallelujah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We go a step farther than what calypso has, and make a popup happen every single time the program runs with PCM, using systemCallWithWait. like this, Irfan View is both a photo editor and viewer software ( but I expect you could use pretty much any photo viewer) And the photo that opens is a combination of 2-3 pictures of the part fixtured, and some text based instruction overlaid. In the presettings: systemCallWithWait("C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe C:\xxxxxxxx(Path to your photo that you want opened)xxxxx") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiWeb only supports tolerance (or deviation) calculation by number scale, which is incompatible with the "absolute values" setting in Calypso. One of the reasons why I don't use PiWeb reporting.

I don’t like either the way that Piweb administrates the data… However I like the presentation of curve plots.. Just curious, what do you use to sort, save and analyze the data?

[Ri...] Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 To keep it simple and regardless of what CMM software you use, create a set up file. I use Excel. Attached is an example Excel file we call a Set Up Workbook. Rename Please sign in to view this quote.

I do first sample inspections only and for me it's enough to organize my data by a unique report number and my measured parts by the cavity number of the injection mold. We save the data to a network folder and then import it to a CAQ system. All the other tasks like data analysis are done by other people. So I wouldn't even need the old custom report most of the time, but I generate one anyway, so people have something to look at 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number scale calculates the deviation along the axis, so the sign of the result is different, depending on the sign of nominals/actuals. Absolute value removes the sign first, treating all dimensions as if they were positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
