Run time - utilization

[[Je...]]

Can someone point me to an option to report machine utilization or logging to determine the hours the CMM has been working per shift or per day? I know the techs have this capability but I'm curious if there is a way for me to get that report daily as a log?

Perhaps this would be of interest to you.

Im working on a project that has that abillitiy among some other stuff like temperature and collision loggning. I can give you a beta version to try out, There are only some minor stuff left to do. I'll try to remember, or remind me in a week or two.

This little bit of code i kept from the PCM class at Brighton.
I have it on all my programs, a vestige from a request of a previous quality manager.
Im sure they dont do this lab anymore in the class since it has been superceded by "Measurement duration" in the VP Head.
If you have PCM, put this in your Presettings and post settings, it'll output to a excel file anywhere you want, its currently set to save to C/Temp.
It's the runtime in seconds, it'll update itself every time you run a part.
Every day at midnight itll generate a new file.

//Presettings
StartTime=timeInSeconds()

//Post settings
EndTime=timeInSeconds()
ElapsedTime = EndTime-StartTime
filePath = "C:\temp\Zeiss Time\"
ext = ".csv"
N1 =("Zeiss Time - ")
dirPath99 = filePath + N1 + date()+ ext

addToFile(dirPath99,ElapsedTime)

So what I expected is probably true judging by the replies. I was hoping there was an option or log program I could access to use.

Roberto,
We do not have the PCM package so that route is not an option I have available. I wish I did as it definitely expands the customization of Calypso

Eric,
I'd be interested to see what you come up with. Thank you

Laura,
That is very similar to what I am looking for. Thank you for the information.
