Hiding masked characteristics in report

[[No...]]

Is there a quick way to make PiWeb hide masked characteristics in a report?

I know that I can mark characteristics in the multiple printout window, but that's not what I call "quick". I don't like having to do work twice. Is there a way PiWeb can detect masked characteristics on its own? A variable or something?

(Clarification: I'm talking of elements which are masked in Caylpso, but are calculated because of references to other elements - those didn't appear in the old presentation protocol, but do in PiWeb)

If you're masking them, they should already be hidden. At least this is the case on 6.4.16. However, I know from past experience this hasn't been true.

I added a clarification to my post later, did you see it?
I mean characteristics which are masked, but calculated because they are referenced elsewhere.
I use this method frequently to hide bore pattern results in the presentation protocol when I output the true position of each single bore later (I need the bore pattern only for alignment - irrelevant and too complicated to explain here).

In fact, while the old presentation protocol left out masked elements, PiWeb reporting seems to display every characteristic with a result, masked or not. That's a problem for me, because I have a program where I had to calculate a whole new alignment and make a lot of new characteristics, which I did by recalling everything from the elements of the old alignment. All the old characteristics are masked now, but since the old bore patterns are still referenced by the recalls, they still calculate and their results go to PiWeb and show up in the report.

Sorry, missed the update.

So I guess this means that PiWeb doesen't even get the information that a characteristic is masked.
I must start writing down a list now, of things PiWeb is incapable of. Otherwise I might forget 🙄

Has anyone ever figured this issue out? I have my bore patterns masked, and I have them set to off in the "mark characteristics" screen, and it is still reporting all of the patterns.

Data Transfer to QS-STAT could be supressed by this function.

Sorry, for PiWeb Reporting it doesn't work. The "red" Option must be available. We can put on the wish list.

The existing "mark" only supress the Output for actual Output. Reports directly from database ingnore the Setting.

I was suffering with the same and last week I received the answer from ZEISS (works very good):
- Select the protocol section
- Go to data provider
- Click on advanced filters (is the icon with the red mark)
- Enable: only Characteristics with measured data

If you mask them, they just won't get measured.
If you want them measured, but not on the report:
-Set "Mark" to ON
- In Multiple Printouts menu you need to tick off "Hide (selected characteristics are not displayed)

You need to do this for every report you have.
And you need to do it in every measurement plan.

To all,

If you "mask" a characteristic. Calypso will not measure the feature unless it is needed to calculate another characteristic or alignment. Masking will make the little ghost face mask appear next to the characteristic.

If you "mark" a characteristic to "ON" in the Characteristic Settings Editor, it will measure the feature and calculate the result of the characteristic. The result will not appear on any reports at the end of a "LIVE" run if you "Hide (selected characteristics are not displayed)". The data is still sent to PiWeb. It is very easy to filter it out in the event you need to create a report in PiWeb later.
-There is a setting in PiWeb called "Documentation Required Characteristics", and this setting is controlled by the "Mark" option. You can filter by this setting in the Inspection Plan Filters at the top of the Data Binding tab. That is the only place to do it, but it will remove all characteristics that are marked from a report. "Toleranced characteristics" will turn off any group titles or untoleranced anything.

Do you known how to prevent the icons in autorun showing up as red when the report provides all green results? It's like the values from the marked characteristics are still determining if the part is out of tolerance even though the report does not display them.
