Is there a way to only print a report if there is a characteristic out of tolerance? I set the report to out of tolerance only but when everything is in tolerance it still prints off the header. The only time we need a printout is if something is out and I thought this would be easier than asking the operators to manually print a report whenever needed.

Hi Justin!

Try this, put in in the post settings.

 

status=inspectionToleranceState()
if len(status)==14 then
    defineProtocol("#type","presentationProtocol")
    defineProtocol("#medium","printer", "pdf")
    defineProtocol("#elements","allCF")
    defineProtocol("#order","likeList")
else
    defineProtocol("#type","presentationProtocol")
    defineProtocol("#medium","pdf")
    defineProtocol("#elements","allCF")
    defineProtocol("#order","likeList")
endif

I'd be interested in knowing if there's a non-PCM way to do it.

Thank you Isagani for the suggestion! I am not sure where to find post settings. Is this a PCM thing?

It's PCM.

Hello,

is there also a way for the PiWeb protocol?

I don't think this can be done in Calypso.

If you really need to printout only characteristics out of tolerance, then i would try this approach:

• define protocol file path to include iO and NiO folder ( can be found in forum )
• use BAT file to perform check of NiO folder
  • send file to printer
  • move file to common folder to keep this NiO folder empty ( to keep simple checks )

Although i don't know if is PDF created when there is no out of tolerance.

And you have an option to place this to "My Voice"
