Calypso Automation


Recommended Posts

Your error appears to be on CreateObject which indicates an issue in Windows and has nothing to do with Calypso, whereas I am receiving

"ActiveX component can't create object: 'CalypsoInterface.Calypso'

All you had to do was register CalypsoInterface.dll from the Calypso bin folder?

Thanks Jacob.

Yes I know, I already mention that in my initial post. It was successfully registered. I also checked registry records and they are the same with the same class id, either my computer or production. I was thinking id someone else also had it and come up with a solution.

Hello everyone,
this discussion has ended without any positive solution.
I am also facing the same issue.
I have tried for some months to automate Calypso using only software interlink.
but I have failed to run a program.
Please suggest any way if you people are succeeded.
I have tried using VBA Macro coding for this automation.
And I have successfully used VBA Codes to automate PCDMIS in hexagon CMMs.
please help.

Hello Dibyendu and John Ambeliotis,
I am new in CMM, the first in our Co. (Contura G2). I want to know where to find the official documentation about AUTORUN programming, and if possible to program with any COM interface, with C++, VB, Delphi, C#...
I am looking for the Licenses and now we need the PCM, but with the Planner offline maybe I can carry out some practices.
Thanks a lot
Hello CMM, something like this interface vom Eric wird the best option to program.
But now my limitation is on informations about the programming languages to use (C#, VB, C++, Delphi...) and the interfaces to use. Well, where to find documentation, tutorials, etc about AUTORUN...
Well, I see, so much questions, and really, no information accessible. I have programmed (C#, Delphi, C++Builder) some automation for Word and Excel as template for GRR and other SPC, but I do not find nothing relative to Calypso.
Best regards
Hello CMM community:
Sometimes we have made the automation of some App in order to make easy the operation of the system by non experienced operator or to make our own Template in Excel, Word, PDF, or using some SPC software as Calculation Engine with an friendlies GUI. For these purposes we are using any COM language, C#, C++, C++Builder, Delphi, VB....but well, the Question:
The OLE automation is a valid option for Zeiss Calypso?
Is it necessary PCM license or programming inside PCM?

I have set OLEDB connections to SQL Server and Access databases using the text outputs of the instruments..
in case of calypso we have an *exe file that identify the columns and attributes of the text files and is executed at the end of the inspection:

report_end_pcm.txt:
waitForFile(Outputfile ,"Printout",1,15,"",0)  
systemCall(getActualInspectionDir()+"\OLEDB_Link.exe")		

of course the oldb querys are custom according to the database structure.
Hello Zeiss CMM community
Well, I understood what Israel had done, we use this approach for Word, Excel, PDF, usw. and we take control only of data or results to some kind of print or output, but the case is as Eric said, how to have access to an interface or Calypso object from our own developed standalone application using Calypso as server Engine.
I have read in this community some with C# but not documented enough.
Hello CMM Community, hi Israel and Eric.
Well, I have created an access via COM interface to the CalypsoInterface, and the first test was OK.
I had a problem with SharpDevelop 64bits, but I will install Visual Studio Express (C# / VB) or Free Pascal.
So, any doubt I will ask you, because that was only the initial experience with Calypso application.
Thanks a lot.

Hello CMM Zeiss Community.
Now I was trying to view the database of reports of each program in Autorun.
A folder is updated constantly after each run of plan measurement with the name of the Plan and extension .dfm, well my question is:
How to open this file?
We need extra License to open it?
Or some other software?
Of course that I was researching about, and I'd found dfm as Delphi Form, but of course not the case, I was using it large time, but other files format for Data Flow Diagram ...usw. I was trying to import as database in my MySQL, fail...
At the end, I'd put the file inside a simple Word Office and it is a simple document with the data of Reports and head and some information about machine CMM...
Well, I need some other forms to obtain the data from records of measurements and to make our own report and statistic system, and not to reinvent the Wheel.

Hello Israel, now I want to make an Standalone app that stay open and to obtain the past and last run of measurement to make our own Control Chart and process control parameter for adjustment. Well the problem is only how to open a database .dfm. I was trying other methods, as read inside each pdf and put the data in my Database, but so much time reinventing the wheel.
(Note: not PCM Lic and not PiWeb Plus)
