Check existence and location of table files at end of run

[[No...]]

Is there a way in PCM to find out at the end of a run

• whether a characteristic table file was generated and exported (i.e. if the table file option was activated in the start window AND if the custom path setting was set and activated)
• where (custom path and file name) it was exported to.

I think this would need a few "undocumented" commands. Does anyone happen to know some? 🙂

Hello Norbert,

all generated files are logged in the protocols.log file located in the actuals directory (directoryPath("actuals")):

baseSystem().machine.inspection.settings.protocollog
settingGet("protocollog")

remark: baseSystem().machine.inspection.settings.blabla is the "same" as settingGet("blabla")

If the table file option is activated in the start window:

baseSystem().machine.inspection.settings.resultToTableFileDialog
settingGet("resultToTableFileDialog")

settingGet("resultToTableFile") shows if table files are activated

You can check custom path settings with

baseSystem().machine.inspection.settings.protocolSettings.outputFileDefinition
settingGet("protocolSettings").outputFileDefinition

especially (returns nil if not)

baseSystem().machine.inspection.settings.protocolSettings.outputFileDefinition.tableFileHdr
baseSystem().machine.inspection.protocol.protocolSettings.outputFileDefinition.tableFileChr
baseSystem().machine.inspection.protocol.protocolSettings.outputFileDefinition.tableFileFet
