Hi guys

I receave program from our main factory and in the program , probe standing still about minute , before it go on the next feature. And it does that with every feature in program.

any idea? 
tnx

Also: Look at how many points per feature that the program is collecting. The software lags when there is a lot of data that is being collected & processed (compared to CPU capabilities). There are also recommended computer specs, depending on which version of calypso that you are using.

I've also similarly seen this happen on DuraMax CMMs that just need a controller reboot, then they start behaving again. Ours run 24/7 so sometimes they need a nap.

I've seen similar behavior once when I used a lot of manual point masking entries within a circle. Calypso seemed to have a hard time calculating them all.

Make sure your CALYPSO configuration has "Actuals" or "actual values" being stored locally.  This should ALWAYS be set up this way.  Do not ever store "Actuals" (in Paths setting) on a network drive, especially if it is a shared drive. 

Performance issues aside, this is not a matter "if" it will cause a physical machine crash but a matter of "when". Actuals are the temporary inspection data/machine navigation data.  If it is shared between 2 or more CMMs running the same program simultaneously, CALYPSO has no idea which instance wrote the data and will use whatever is available.  This isn't to be confused with "idMeasPoints" or "Saved Measured Points".  They are not the same data or files.

Hi Jeffrey,

 

Where is the menu to check if the Actuals are stored locally (all our programms are on network)

 

thanks

My programs are saved on a shared network drive.  Is there a universal setting I can use to save all idMeasPoints into the "same directory as measurment plan" but then keep the Actuals in a local folder?  If I designate the Actuals environment path to a local folder, then the idMeasPoints go there as well.

I'm pretty sure the idMeasPoints are saved to the measurement plan folder by default.  It is possible to control where the MP's are stored, if needed.  The actuals are a separate set of points.

If I set the Actuals in environment path to a specific local folder, the idMeasPoints go there as well.  How do you control them independently?

I see that the OP said he had ethernet problems, so it sounds like the problem was solved.

 

Some additional two cents if I were to encounter this problem. 

I would double-check the pre/post settings of those features. Either the post-setting of the feature before the pause, or the pre-setting of the next feature to measure. 

Sometimes if it needs to compute some PCM it may pause in between features until it is done running that code.

You may want to create more folder structure to specific customer, drawing number, order number, etc.
