How to determine CMM run time

[[Ri...]]

I am trying to find out how to determine how much time per day a CMM is running a program. Not a specific program, all run time.
Is there a utility or something that I can use?

Hi Rick,

I'm not sure what CMM Observer can actually do, but here's information on the product.

You can download a 60 day free trial to see how it works.

I use little PCM code to write to file time of measuring after running program, from this file I can calculate how much time CMM work in day. But some measurements operators do manually.

Can you share the PCM?

TIME_MEAS = getRecordHead("dmesn") + " " + getRecordHead("planid") + " " + getRecordHead("operid") + " " + getRecordHead("date") + " " + getRecordHead("time") + " " + getRecordHead("partnbinc") + " " + getRecordHead("durationofrun") + " " + getRecordHead("temperatureworkpiece") + " " + getRecordHead("order")
addToFile("D:\user\protocols\time.txt", TIME_MEAS)

you can add any fields if you want

Thank you!

What is PCM code? I mainly use very basic Calypso aspects, and have never heard of calypso "PCM", but i would like to check run time, and perhaps other things in the future.
