[Ju...] Posted July 31, 2025 Share Posted July 31, 2025 Has anyone ever encountered this popup? I was able to click CONT CNC four times and continue the program, but I've never seen this before. I'm curious what its purpose is and what causes its appearance. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/24101-stepper-popup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 Never seen it before. Are you sure it is not a PCM created dialog box? Someone may have created it to accomplish some goal.

[Ma...] Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 Hello Justin, according to an internal document, this is a function thats just for internal use. According to the document it is activated by a .txt file in the folder: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO 7.x\data\config\specialrules.txt) Please take a look if you have that "specialrules.txt" in your CALYPSO folder.

[No...] Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 This is definitely an existing dialog in Calypso, so not PCM-made. But no idea what it's for or why it pops up unintentionally. Did you possibly install a patch lately? These are not fully tested and may contain bugs like this.

[Ju...] Posted August 4, 2025 Author Share Posted August 4, 2025 We don't have a PCM license, so it's probably not that. This is on Calypso 2017, and I haven't seen anything like it before. I looked in the data/config folder that Marcel suggested, and all that is in there is NamePatternsDefault.txt and userattributes.ini. It happens in a program that I've used for the last 6 years or so, but it's never popped up before, so I don't know why it would suddenly start.

[DW...] Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 (edited) Please sign in to view this quote. Please sign in to view this username. Use Windows search to return all text files on your computer using a wildcard like this "*.txt" and then sort alphabetically and look for specialrules.txt.

[Ju...] Posted August 6, 2025 Author Share Posted August 6, 2025 (edited) Just did a full system search of all .txt files, and the closest found is specialmenu.txt. I also did a full system search for "specialmenu.txt," but no items matched my search.

[Er...] Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 Its used to debug programs and/or machine behavior. Someone has most likely inserted a breakpoint in to your program at the feature "cylinder19". Use the button "clear trace elements" to remove it. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/24101-stepper-popup/#findComment-136449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
