PCM WAIT?

[[Dy...]]

What would be the PCM syntax to have it wait like 5 seconds? im trying to use systemCall("filename") but have it wait 5 seconds so the pi web report can output first.

wait(5) - Will wait 5 seconds.
waitForFile("filename") - Will wait until the file is created. There are some other arguments within the brackets that you might need to specify. See the help for further information.
systemCallWithWait - Will wait until the command has finished computing.

The wait command in Calypso PCM is

wait(nSeconds)

CNC run will be stopped for nseconds.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
However, it may be advantageous for you to use
"waitForFile"

For more information on the syntax and other available commands, in Calypso in the PCM editor window there is a list of functions and parameters with syntax and a brief description which can be accessed via the button shown below.

PCM code in: report_end_pcm.txt is executed after the piweb report is generated, there you don’t need the wait function..

Not sure I follow? Is that a different location to put the PCM code rather then the post settings?

test with other functions just to check, like:

message("Hallo")

I have the impression that the problem is because the batch file is in another drive..


better to put your batch code in: report_end.bat

That makes sense to have them in the same folder. I still must be missing something though no message came up

you are a little bit confused
message is a PCM function and report_end.bat is a batch file,
both (report_end.bat and report_end_pcm.txt) are executed after the CMM inspection generates the outputs...

If you want to test correctly make something like this:



report_end_pcm.txt

message("Hola mundo")

report_end.bat

msg * "Hola mundo"

Yea I thought that the report_end_pcm.txt tells it to read the .bat file, but when I run the program it still doesn't show the prompt when completed. Clicking on it in the folder does work though so not sure why it isn't during the program end? :/
