[To...] Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Without PCM, is there a way to have Calypso pop open a picture at a programmable stop showing the operator which hole to place a pin in? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Me...] Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Can you go into more detail about how to do this Eric? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Tom, here is an attachment for a thread you posted on In 2013! https://academy.imt.zeiss.com/Software/ ... y_start=16Display_File.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ra...] Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Eric is already in this thread, so he'll recognize my suggestion as something he showed me how to do... and, he'll probably have an even better idea. FWIW, could you turn on/off a CAD feature (via PCM) to show the operator where the pin goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Er...] Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Well, if you wish to do totally with out pcm, I think you are out of luck if you don't wish to get really geeky. (Let me know if you do, cause I find these things really funny.) My "yes" was kind of referring to "Calypso pop open". How ever, if you wish to have calypso to open a picture rather then an external program I can give you an example of how you could do just because you look so friendly: Use the syntax executeWS("path\to\file.ws") and as argument you point it to an external file. (Threating this as you don't have access to pcm) as formula in your stop. In the external file you write some smalltalk, witch is then compiled by visual works in the same environment as Calypso. pic := (ImageReader fromFile: 'x:\folder\pic_must_be_bmp.bmp') image. (frame := ScheduledWindow new) openIn: (450 @ 100 corner: pic width +450 @ pic height). frame component: pic This should work. You can play aroud with positioning and size to suit your needs. And you can add a frame title if you wish. It's written in a way that should not be affected of the 6.2.12 and later issues. I don't think you need a pseudo variable at the end since it gets executed when compiled. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Oh, the variables should probably be declared so that they stay local. But since I don't get paid, you can do It your self 😉 This is the closest I can get to your original post with out put the neerd glasses on 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Eric, Is that a bug on your calibration sphere? I would have ran a probe calibration program to stab him with a probe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thank you for the kind words Eric. I really am a friendly guy... 😃 I try to support our customers with their Calypso questions. Sometimes, I need to pass the questions onto the forum so smart guys like you can get involved. I don't know if my customer is geeky but at this point I'm going to tell them NO. If it's important to do these types of things, they may need to consider making the investment in PCM instead of using work-arounds. Again, Thank you!

[Er...] Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yes, Jason. Its a fly. Actually they called from another machine and said they has some troubles qualifying probes. The first I saw when I got there was that fly on the sphere. I thought it was funny so I snapped a pic and asked the operator if he had used the sphere as a butt plug. He got all red in the face and asked what I meant with that. I pointed at the sphere and told him it might be dirty since it attract fly's. Yeah, make it expensive for them! And then sell 'em training. Love the way you think! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
