‘CNC manual’ window?

[[Pa...]]

When running parts via Autorun, a ‘CNC manual’ window randomly opens after some measurement plans have finished running.



I believe that the measurement plan is reloaded when this appears. Any external PCM files named ‘inspection_start_pcm’ are also executed automatically when this appears (this causes problems for us).

As I mentioned, the window appears randomly (not after every run). It happens on multiple machines, and after several different measurement plans.

We are running CALYPSO 2015 , ServicePack 2, Version 6.0.08 (09.10.2015).

Can anyone tell me what causes this and how to prevent it from happening?

I have autorun running on all our machines, and have never seen this before?

Nobody has seen this window before? We see this on all three of our CMMs...

I work a lot in autorun, but I've never seen this message!

I have never seen this screen. You described it's behavior as random, not every run. And you said that it involves several different programs. Is it always occuring with the same programs or is that random as well?

Also, could you post the inspection_start_pcm.txt file?

Richard, the window shows up randomly after a run in Autorun for any of our programs.

inspection_start_pcm.txt:
————————————————————-
chr_Side1=getRESULTS()+”\Side1__chr.txt”
fet_Side1=getRESULTS()+”\Side1__fet.txt”
hdr_Side1=getRESULTS()+”\Side1__hdr.txt”

if fileExists(chr_Side1) then
deleteFile(chr_Side1)
endif

if fileExists(fet_Side1) then
deleteFile(fet_Side1)
endif

if fileExists(hdr_Side1) then
deleteFile(hdr_Side1)
endif

clearParameter(“chr_Side1”,”fet_Side1”,”hdr_Side1”)
————————————————————————

(Window shows up after programs with absolutely no PCM code as well.)

Paul, does this only occur in the Autorun environment or have you ever seen this when running Calypso without Autorun?

I have no idea but, it kind of looks like the "Point Program" interface found in the stoplights task-bar, located under the " more" menu.

I have been working with a German friend of mine on this. Owen, I think has provided a valuable clue.

Paul, what kinds of machines do you have Calypso running on?

[[Pa...]]

We have Contura G2, Prismo Navigator, and Accura CMMs.

This only occurs when running programs from Autorun.

If the behavior only occurs when you use Autorun, then the first thing I would try is to build a new .arn file with a single part program that you know was running when the problem occured. Test that and if the problem disappears, add another program and test that. If the problem shows up, then you can look at the program. There's a trigger someplace that's getting pulled, sometimes.
