How to choose "All Characteristics"

[[Cl...]]

Here is what I have so far. How do I offer the choice of running the full program, without creating a mini plan for it?
Thank you in advance.
*********************************************************************************************************************************
LN = getRecordHead("order")

clearCAD()
dir = getActualInspectionDir()

Run=inquireList("Which mini-plan do you wish to run?","Plan-1","Plan-2","Plan-3")
setRunID(Run)

Part_Number = inquireList("Which part number are you inspecting?", "13-00188", "13-00189", "13-00190")
selectCase Part_Number
case "13-00188"
readPCMFile(dir + "\13-00188.PARA")
loadCADFile(dir+"\13-00188.sab")

case "13-00189"
readPCMFile(dir + "\13-00189.PARA")
loadCADFile(dir+"\13-00189.sab")

case "13-00190"
readPCMFile(dir + "\13-00190.PARA")
loadCADFile(dir+"\13-00190.sab")

endSelect

There are a few ways.
With PCM, I believe you can addCF (characteristic), however I don't know the concatenated code for 'all characteristics', I'll do some research.

If all characteristics are the same for all parts, do you need to specify what to run?

Other than I would just use mini-plan either for all characteristics or for each P/N.

There are PCM options for mostly everything on the start run screen. I will get back to you if noone else solves it first.

Good luck.

EDIT : getCFNames() will return a list of all characteristic names. Perhaps somehow write this to a variable?

ALLCHAR = getCFNames()
AddCF = ALLCHAR

?

Thanks, Chris.

Why won't setRunID(Run) work for the program name?
I thought that I could just insert the plan name as a choice, but it won't allow me.

Hmm, interestingly enough, the code I just posted seemed to work offline if put in the presettings of your plan (and then I chose a 1 characteristic mini plan to run - and it ran the whole program)

However I do believe there is a one-liner that may be simpler.

I'll dig around a bit further.

Nope, my fault I missed something.

I'm taking the easy way and creating a MP called "Full Program".

For a while I was using setRunID() with no argument to do this.

I honestly forget why I stopped, I think it worked in some versions but not others (I have everything from 4.0 to 2020 I need to make things compatible with). Or maybe it behaved differently with AutoRun vs when being used without.

I elected to just make a FullProgram Miniplan, the only annoyance is if I add a feature I have to edit the MiniPlan. For a while I used the "Form from Characteristic Groups" option and that worked well too. But I found it was easier to just Ctrl + A, Form Miniplan and overwrite the FullProgram one when changes were made.

`setRunID("complete")` is the full plan without mini-plan structuring

If you set the mini-plan to a group of characteristics, any time you add a characteristic to that group, it is included in the relevant mini-plan. IE - In your situation, if you put all characteristics in a group, the mini plan applies to all. If you want to remove an item from the mini-plan, rather than edit, all you have to do is drag it out of the group.

How can I use setRunID(Run) & setRunID(Complete) together?

I just tried this in Ver. 6.6.28 and it tells me "Characteristic group 'complete' is not defined"

Similar thing here with Calypso 7.0.02 (Service Pack 1)

"Characteristic group is not defined"

Just guessing here. Would setRunID("All Characteristics") work?

Well, let's give it a try.

This works.

Run=inquireList("Which mini-plan do you wish to run?","Plan-1","Plan-2","Plan-3","Complete")
setRunID(Run)

if Run=="Plan-1","Plan-2","Plan-3" then setRunID(Run)

else ("All Characteristics")

endif

Thanks for the suggestion, Tom!

I noticed that whichever item you choose in the run window (All Characteristics, Current Selection or the Mini-Plan), that choice shows up on the PiWeb Report in the field Run. So, I thought maybe that might be a valid name.

My apologies. I was sure that I've used setRunID("complete") before and I ran a program without a mini-plan and 'message(getRunID())' returns "complete" in 7.2. I didn't test setRunID to verify in this instance however. Apologies.
