Traffic Light Red to Green from Console

[[Ju...]]

This morning, I was reading the Calypso Release Info and discovered how to make the traffic light turn from red to green without having to go back to the computer. 🙂

F8 to start the measurement plan (if light is red, Calypso will ask to change it to green), then F4 to cancel the run.

F8, Return, F4

Saves some steps if you're monitoring a measurement plan, have a collision, and want to move the stylus system to a secure location before inspecting the features in the software.

Curious. What version are you looking at? This has been around for a few releases?

I am currently operating 2017 Calypso 6.4.0800. I've just seen a few people on this forum express their frustration at not being able to do this.

No worries, I was just trying to put a date range for when it was implemented.

Several years before that, I created a post on the wish list on the old forum suggesting they use a "shift-lower return + some key" to reset the red light.

You can "technically" do this with Shift + Lower Return + X. This will perform a soft reboot, and while Calypso might still show a stop condition, the machine will move normally.
