[To...] Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Currently have customer that has User Privileges set the settings below. I knew if an operator simply opened a characteristic or feature, Calypso would consider the program "modified" and operator was locked out and would need to close and re-load program. What I didn't know was that if an operator attempted to use the "Execute Now" function on a characteristic, Calypso also considered the program "modified" and operator was not allowed to continue. This came up when an operator found a dimension out of spec. They carefully wiped the feature clean and tried to use the "Execute Now" function and was not allowed. I had them reload the program and run it. I had them right-click on the non-conforming characteristic and select "Delete Characteristic and Feature Actuals" but when they clicked the Run button, they got the same "Locked out" warning. I'm curious if there is a protocol whereas an operator can have these privilege options set to protect the program from any edits yet be able to re-run characteristics as needed and still be able to produce a complete report without having to re-run the entire program. v7.6.12Screenshot 2024-07-18 111047.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 There isn't and it would be dangerous to do so, I had to answer this question at my facility. "Execute now" and running with "Current Alignment/ Clear Existing Results unchecked" to recheck features, assumes all Datum references and alignments have not changed. So if you physically touch the part to clean it, you run the very real risk of adjusting it's position slightly on the CMM. So while you may get away with it for a simple size output, if Position, Profile, Distance, etc are required, those results may be skewed. Not to mention the CMM may be starting from a strange location which sometimes means a crash as it gets to it's start point. OR, what if the dirty feature that reported bad for size was also used in something else? Position? Profile? it may not be obvious to the Operator how else that bit of dirt affected the results in ways beyond whatever characteristic reported out. Doing Current Selection and re-running the feature properly with a new Base Alignment, and all references is better. Rerunning the entire program is best, for some programs we use PCM to force full runs only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but in this case, the part was very heavy, requiring an overhead hoist, so I don't think moving it was likely. Plus, the characteristic was only a diameter.

We don't use it ourselves but I understand it, combined with the multiple report will allow you to recheck characteristics as needed, but have 1 clean report when finished instead of a full report then a partial for the recheck.
