Pc-dims vs calypso

I have only worked with PC-DIMS for the last 6 years, but I'm currently considering a new position that is Calypso. How difficult is Calypso to learn?

  • I learned Calypso. I don't have it on my resume as I will not take a position that wants a Calypso programmer, and I really don't want an employer to know that I know it as they may ultimately want me to use it.

    If you prefer to program from the keyboard, PCD is the better option. If you want point and click programming, Calypso.


    This exactly. I was formally trained on Calypso. It's point and click, but everything is hidden behind different windows and settings. It's pretty frustrating. I find PC DMIS to be way more user friendly but a less robust software, I never had any issues with Calypso but I feel like PC DMIS falls apart if you even click on something too fast.
  • You should try using a programmable keypad with Pcdmis sometimes, when you have dozens if not 100 or more keystrokes programmed into a single key, it can make PCD do strange things sometimes....
