Can I set Calypso to always export the Default printout to a .txt file?

[[Aa...]]

Just what I have in my question. I want to set up Calypso so that at the end of every run, it exports the default printout to a .txt file. Thanks!

Create a new inspection file with all the settings you wish to apply to every program (evaluation, printouts/reports, point exports etc). "Save As.." to create a template inspection program. When creating a new inspection, open this measurement plan, and "Save As.." to rename it to the appropriate filename for the new plan. Also, make a copy of the template plan and move it to a safe place. WIthout fail, you will save over it frequently.

To add to Jeff's post, once you have your ideal template, open the MP folder and right-click on the inspection file and select properties. Tick the Read only checkbox. This will prevent you from accidentally overwriting the file.

Thanks! And how would I specify that the report should be placed in the directory containing the measurement plan?

Use the following for your path.

getActualInspectionDir()+"\defaultReport\"+getRecordHead("measRun")+"_"+getRecordHead("partnbinc")+"_default.txt"

To add to Walters instruction;
First create this setting in "...for all Measurement Plans..." rather than "...for This Measurement Plan..." in the Resources > Name for Output Files.... Configure how you want all future plans to be configured in terms of file output. Apply the setting. When you create your next measurement plan, select " Resources > Name for Output Files...>...for this Measurement Plan...". On the radio box to the right select "Name from setting for all Measurement Plans". This will apply the setting you previously saved. This saves future setup time and ensures your outputs are uniform.

Thanks, everyone, for your imput. In our case, our measurement plans are all created from one of two template measurement plans based on what units are to be used, so I simply set up the path and name as desired for those two plans. In my case, there was a whole lot of info about the run that I wanted to be able to look up after-the-fact (workpiece temp (getRecordHead("temperatureworkpiece")), machine SN (getRecordHead("dmesn")), date ((getRecordHead("date")), time ((getRecordHead("time")), etc. Does anyone know what that "time" represents? The start time? The completion time?
