PiWeb and Probing System Qualification Characteristic

[[Mi...]]

Is there a way in PiWeb to access and report the Form Factor (S) and Styli radius (R) using the Probing System Qualification Characteristic? My goal is to make it easier to track the results over time. ❓ 😎

Yes. I do that here when I calibrate probes. I have it set up in the PRG to report out the dev and rad. Piweb takes that info and shoots out my reports. I can track the probes from the initial start up .
I use formulas in Calypso and PiWeb runs with them.

I can go into more detail if needed.

Anyone have an idea why I get an internal error with this code?
See attached image

getProbe("#1 Cx1.0","1MM").radius/25.4

Well, I thought that was the problem, now I don't know what is.

Try removing the # sign from your probe name. Special characters cause lots of problems with probe names, especially if you import names. You can make a copy of the probe to test it first.

I found the problem.
For some odd reason, when I changed the name of a characteristic with a formula, it change the name in formula's of other characteristics tied to the same Probe name.
Original Characteristic:
1MM
Formula:

getProbe("#1 Cx1.0","1MM").stdProbeDev/25.4

Renamed characteristic:
1MM stdProbeDev
Formula:

getProbe("#1 Cx1.0","1MM stdProbeDev").stdProbeDev/25.4

The string "stdProbeDev" was being added to my formula's.

I think this is a bug?

I use "getProbe"
I am not recalling the characteristic by name
Changing the name of the characteristic changes the name in my formula
This 100% affected single tip styli in the Z axis
(Gets interesting here)
On star configurations, and only some star probes, the Z axis tip name in the formula was changed

Hi.

I'am very new to PCM, could some one please post the code for getting x,y and z axis from Result element as well?
so that I can monitor this values in piweb.

Thanks in advance.

 getProbe("StylusName","stylusSystemName").probeVector.x 
 getProbe("StylusName","stylusSystemName").probeVector.y 
 getProbe("StylusName","stylusSystemName").probeVector.z

Peter, I believe you have the order reversed, The first item is the stylus name and the 2nd item is the stylus system name.

Doh!
Thanks, Tom.

thank you so much, it worked!

I have tried to find PCM commands in a course compendium on PCM from Zeiss. but it was not much help, as it was virtually the same as the help file found in Calypso. Does some of you have any tips on where to find an overview of these commands.
