Measurement Plan Editor Characteristics

[[Mi...]]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you gurus could lend me a hand. I was wondering If there is a way to edit the characteristic comments within the measurement plan editor characteristics? Is there something I can toggle on to make them editable?

When going through our old programs and updating the characteristic numbers, print locations and characteristic types. Sometimes there are other characteristic numbers associated with the characteristic that we add to the comments(not the programmer comments, the characteristic comments). It is quite cumbersome to updated all of this within the measurement plan editor characteristics and then have to go through each characteristic comment in the characteristic tab and change those too.

Holy hell did I just say characteristic too many times.

Regards,

If you right click or press F2, does it allow you to edit the individual lines? I know this is allowed for other parameters such as amount of included adjacent points.

Where is this menu choice?

Resources>Characteristic Setting Editor>Characteristic Attributes(in the drop down menu)

Maybe this is in Calypso 2021, cause its not in 2020.
Thanks for the reply.

Weird, we've used every version since 2014 and it is in 2020.

If you right click a characteristic and click on characteristic attribute will showed the same thing for that feature only.

That was easy to find.
I'm assuming variables have to be set for the shown parameters?

Also, I do not have this menu item.
"measurement plan editor characteristics" as named in the Ops post.

I don't have an option for Programmer Comment option under Characteristic Settings Editor.

Maybe it shows up if you add the options that you have setup up under characteristic Attribute? When I right click on the characteristic, it's just empty.

Mike, Can you post the text from the ini file for these ? I pasted the example from the manual but I'm not seeing the variable in PiWeb to add them in my report. Maybe post that snippet from your PiWeb template too.. I can assign the attribute in the program but cannot find it on the PiWeb side.

My observation is, you can only edit thru characteristic editor if the variable uses drop down menu. If it is a keyboard entry it doesn't work.

I don't know if this helps, but it depends if the attribute setting allows keyboard input or not. If so, the value can be entered in the Measurement Plan Editor Characteristic > Characteristic Attribute > Set To box.

These are User Attributes, setup via Resources>Design custom report> Editor for characteristic attributes. They get saved in the userattributes.ini file located C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO\data\config.

Below is how the ini file reads:
