Some questions

[[Ed...]]

 Hi,

Recently I have started spending more time using PiWeb, making customised and more appealing reports.

In doing this I have come across some issues that I would like some help with. 

General help:
I find the general help file is rather lacking. It would be very useful for Zeiss to provide in depth tutorials as PiWeb can get very complex, very fast. (Same goes for Calypso, actually). But I guess this doesn't help the business model of selling SMA's and trainings. Is there any other resource, albeit a YouTuber that explains PiWeb?

References:
Profile and position callout make use of datum references. To show/'prove' that I have measured according to those datums I would like to show the used coordinate system  and/or what that system consists of. Is there a way to do this? Now I just call my feature 'feature_ref-A_B'. But that looks hideous to be honest.

Kind of similar: is it possible to show whether or not a profile was measured using a best fit solution or via a coordinate system?

Custom header:
In Calypso I have defined custom user protocolheaders, such as 'Pallet Number' and have mapped these. How do I call these in Calypso to show up as a text?

Min-max points on CAD/graph:
Is it possible to have data boxes automatically generated for some points in a graph or on CAD. For example if you measure a profile, you can show a graph which maps every point and deviation and it will highlight the min-max points. But I would like to show what those min max points are. You can do this in PiWeb with a live report, by holding control and pressing a measured point. But is it possible to automatically have this on a report?

Kind of similar: I can plot a profile beautifully with red being out of spec in + and blue in -. Would it be possible to have a 'tepmerature scale' next to the plot? So that it is clear what colour correlates to what deviation?

General tips:
What would you say are must-know tips and tricks for PiWeb?

There are probably a lot more questions but let's keep it short...

Thanks in advance for your help!

• I thought the help file was actually pretty solid, but there's always room for improvement, and yes more support/resources is always better. You can always ask for assistance in the forum. 
• https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/software/metrology/product/066cc67a-e50f-470f-9884-a3ec3253c37c/request/e0fb9a93-f0e9-4d2b-8e74-0125d0706245 this is a highly requested feature that will hopefully soon be implemented. 
• You will need to modify the report to add the new variables. In Calypso, you will activate them in Measurement plan - Multiple Report - Select report header parameters. There will be two columns (Run, and Measurement Plan). Run means it will be seen via the Run screen header parameter (this should be used for Part Inc, Serial Number, Job Number, etc); Measurement Plan means it will be seen via the Resources Report Header Parameters screen (this should be used for Drawing Number, Rev, etc. )
• Every point? I'm not certain, Min and Max should be achievable if you are able to report them that way. A lot of people just use the CAD Presentation for these things though.

Tired of hideous character names?

This is what I use, make for clean easy to understand and find when relating to reports and Blueprints.

I have been using this method for about 20 years now and I can create characteristics like I can type my own name.

Feel free to use.
