[Ti...] Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I would to like put a sound wave at the end of a program to let me know the measurement has been completed. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Create a batch file that plays the sound of your choice. Name it inspection_end.bat and place it in the inspections folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Find a sound you like, i would suggest not using voices or music unless your environment is very quiet. I use a train whistle because it cuts thru the ambient droning noise we have here at the shop. I attached the wav file i use below in a zip file. Open zip and put the file in a location on your computer or network.toot2_x.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Open this zip and extract the bat file inside Right click on the file and hit EDIT, then when it opens change the file path between the ""s to the location you put your wav. Save and close. copy the bat file to the inspection folder of the program you want, or copy it to every program folder if you want. Calypso will do the rest, as long as the bat file is in the folder at the end of the run it'll execute itself.jhfgfd.JPGinspection_end.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ti...] Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thankyou I will give this a try. I have another question If I would want this to play just for a certain mini plan could that be possible? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ro...] Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 If you had pcm you could put a code to open a file (bat file) in the postscript of the last unique characteristic in the miniplan you want the sounder in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ro...] Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 yeah, no difference if you run a miniplan or regular mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ji...] Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 We lost our sound at the end of programs when we updated to 7.0. I have a .wav that I created a path and renamed inspection_end.bat. When I put it in one program it works perfect. When I try to put it in C:user\public\publicdocument\zeiss\calypso\workarea\inspections it does not play for any of the programs. Where am I suppose to put it for it to work on all programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ji...] Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The sound plays when you click on it. I tried putting the wav in the file and it made no difference. What I am not sure of is the file path I need to put the inspection_end.bat in. The computer is windows 10 and we are running Calypso 7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ji...] Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Ok I have my batch file it works when I put it in a single program. I am putting it in the right place in inspections where it should work on all programs but it doesn't. Now that we are on 7.0 has something changed? File link is working just Calypso not picking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It doesn't have to be in the inspections folder, it has to be in wherever your default path is set in your environment settings. If you're using a custom path, that's where you have to place the .bat file. For example, this is our path C:\data\cmm\programs\inspections\Production Parts So I have my inspection_start and inspection_end files saved there. maybe that's all that's wrong with yours now.

[Ji...] Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 We are not using a custom path. I know it is something simple but it just will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ji...] Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Ok any ideals on why my sound is not being picked up by the programs? I have the sound in media player and have copied into c:\user\public\publicdocuments\zeiss\calypso\workarea\inspection then changed the name from .wav to .bat. If I put it in one program it works but then putting it in the file path above it does not work. What have I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Go to Extras>Settings>Environment>Paths What is the path in the top menu, Right under "Default Path for Measurement Plans" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Well, you screw it up. You can not change extension of file. You have to make a BAT file ( which is just text file ) and write into it command to run a player with sound file. Something like "SOUNDFILE.EXT" ( where SOUNDFILE is your file and EXT is it's extension ). Same command which is used in windows CMD console.

[Ji...] Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yeah I did all of that but thouhgt you name that file a bat. Will go through the process again and make sure it didn't get lost between working on 1 program and being copied it my file path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
