I have no use for this app at the moment. However I thought that I would open it and get familiar, should I want to use it in the future. My question is; is it possible to run routines and generate reports through this software and still maintain my current file structure and naming convention for the reports? As far as I can tell, it just wants to use it's own naming convention and dump all reports into a single folder called "output folder". You can set the location of this folder but that seems to be the extent of customization that can be done. I'm thinking of running a part via Inspect, just to see what it actually does. In the meantime I thought I'd see if any of you have actually used it yet and could provide some insight.
We don't have operators, aside from one guy that occasionally runs production parts if I'm not here. I'm the only one that touches this machine 98% of the time. We do however have an old Scirocco with a burnt up controller in another facility that we are supposedly gonna put back into service eventually. If so then the fab shop guys will be running my programs on it. We also have an old analog manual CMM that the floor operators use. It may end up being replaced by a PC based machine whenever it finally kicks the bucket. That's why I figured that I would try to get accustomed to something like this now. If I can't maintain my current file structure though, then it's not gonna do me much good. I still haven't had a chance to really mess with it too much. Will report back with any new findings.
