[Ma...] Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Hello, Is there any way to change the actual stylus system in probe to another one? I know that changeStylusSystem("MasterProbe") goes to rack and changes the stylus system. But I don't want the movement to the rack, just overwrite the name (of my choice) of actual stylus system.

[No...] Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 What do you mean by "overwriting" the name? Change or change not. There is no overwrite (--Yoda) 😃 . I'm certain there's a way to call the manual stylus change via undocumented PCM, but right now I don't know how. Maybe there's even an "overwrite" function that doesn't show the manual dialog, but I doubt it. Either way this would need some investigation. Or maybe Eric comes round the corner and pulls something from his sleeve. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 No, you cannot rename the active stylus. The only method to "change" the name of the stylus is to perform a stylus change. Whether that is automatic or manually executed. The only time I could see this as being even a remotely reasonable solution to something is switching between an RDS CAA and non-CAA stylus system that is in reality, the same physical stylus. Any other situation that comes to mind has a simple and robust solution that was designed into the software with intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Thanks for answers and sorry for unclear question and explanation. I meant if I have a stylus system called "MyNewStylus_1" which is mounted in probe, I can do "Manual stylus system change" -> "Pick Up Stylus System" and choose another one for example "MyNewStylus_2" and now machine is equipped with "MyNewStylus_1" but in Calypso I am measuring with "MyNewStylus_2". I wanted to know if there is a possibility to do this "change" by some commands in PCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The question is, why would you want to do that? There may be rare occasions when this would make sense, but not enough to have an official PCM command for it. Calypso is designed to ensure a coherent workflow wherever possible, especially when it comes to having the correct probe in the head. Officially providing such a command would break the coherence and produce ambiguous situations and probably crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Please sign in to view this quote. No. The probe change action is controlled by the CMM Controller. Only in "offline" or "simulation" mode does CALYPSO fully control the stylus change macro. I also see no reasonable reason to utilize this. This sounds like a workaround request to a problem that already has a solution designed in with intent. The closest thing I can imagine to your request is the "threading" option new to CY23 that allows a stylus removal and change/reattachment through a feature option.

[Er...] Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Please sign in to view this quote. Would you like to bet a beer on that statement? Of course you can... Do you wish to have the manual change window pop up (so you can choose configuration), or just automagical fool the cmm there is another stylus then the one actual attached? Just be aware that this is stupid... And when you break something it's your own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I seek to associate a negative connotation to a recreational act? 😃 I will never doubt the creativity of our users and the solutions they come up with. NOTHING is impossible. Its just code. Some things are quite a bit harder or require some very special tools. I've said this before, to you specifically in fact, I may say "It can not be done" but that doesn't mean it is impossible to someone with enough time, skills and tenacity (and maybe a spaceship 😉 ).

[Ni...] Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I realize that I'm reviving a several month old thread here but could you explain that code please Eric and how to manipulate it? We often utilize both CAA and Non-CAA probes where the hardware is shared and it would be nice to not have the operators have to go in and manually change the probes definitions back and forth under CNC Stylus System Change.
