No Custom Report on Version 7.8?

[[Co...]]

I just updated the calypso software to 2024 Calypso 7.8 and noticed that the "Custom Report" option is gone.  And even on the existing programs I have the results no longer format correctly within the boxes of the report. 

Does anyone know of any work arounds for this?  Or is this Zeiss' way of trying to force everyone to spend the ~$15,000 on their PiWeb reporting software?

Which version of PiWeb did you get a price on?  $15k seems high for PiWeb for Plus

Unless their sales strategy has changed recently, you should have access to PiWeb Reporting Plus with your CALYPSO seat. I don't remember the last time I saw a CALYPSO seat without it, actually.

$15k is in line with what I would expect for PiWeb SBS (I think they call it Essentials now) and probably not what you're looking for in this instance.

Currently, PiWeb Plus is included with the purchase of a CMM.  If the machine is from a time when PiWeb Plus wasn't included, upgrading the Calypso software does not include PiWeb.

I believe that is true, but doesn't that just limit the data storage side? You still have PiWeb Reporting.

Point 1, I believe we officially got rid of the custom report in like Calypso 7.2 or something like that. The fact that we were going to stop support for it has been related in the release information for Calypso since 6.2, though.

Point 2, there are several different versions of PiWeb, namely PiWeb Reporting, PiWeb Reporting Plus, PiWeb Essentials and PiWeb Enterprise. The last two are generally for storing and reporting data from several different machines into 1 location, while the first 2 are mostly for just reporting the data from 1 CMM. Calypso automatically comes with PiWeb Reporting, which if you just want to see your report at the end in a form similar to your custom report and save it, should be all you need (and you don't even need to do anything really for new programs except perhaps turn on the saving for PDF files). PiWeb Reporting Plus allows for storing more data and processing SPC data, and is an additional license (I don't remember how much it is).
