Kiosk mode - How to get several parts into one protocol (measured one after the other)

[[Jo...]]

Hello,

we have a AtosQ attached to a Scanport.

I am trying to build processes, that are actually fast and foolproof for non admin users, so i am having a look at the kiosk mode.

So far - even for very simple parts - it is not really an option, because i can`t find a way to implement a kiosk-program, that is not overall way slower, than just starting inspect in two instances one for capturing the meshes and one for the evaluation of the stages.

The challenges i face:

• After every part i have to start from the beginning: Serialnr., temperature etc.
• Is there a way to to get a prompt for the number of parts/stages that have to be measured?
• Is there a way to get all parts into one report?

 

Thank you in advance for your input.

For this i skipped kiosk and made a python script to make evaluation easier ( filling header, storin measured data, pdf report )

If you want to evaluate many of the same part, then you have to use stages and report edited for stages. This will allow you to have one column just for actuals. But deviations and graphical representation of tolerance band will always be only for active stage.

Hi Martin,

thanks for confirming my apprehension, that kiosk mode is a little bit on the shallow side in terms of functionality.

Hello,

the kiosk is as functional as you can make it with python 🙂 

It is possible to modify the start dialog and expand the functionality to your needs.

As a start, there is a trend creation mode for kiosk, which will add a measured project to a project of the same type and will create a trend project in the background. Measuring in one software instance and evaluating in another is possible with the asynchronous evaluation.

For the report, the flipbook option for report pages may be used. 

 

From KioskInterface_settings.cfg:

[Background Trend Creation]
# If enabled an additional software instance is started which creates
# trend projects for all projects found within SavePath.
# Default: False
BackgroundTrend = False
# Defines the maximum number of stages for the trend projects.
# Default: 10
TrendMaxStageSize = 2
# If enabled show the trend instance fullscreen on a second monitor
# Default: False
ShowOnSecondMonitor = True
