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?

If you understand CMM inspection it is just a new software to learn. Unless they have the PCM option (good to ask) it is a very graphical programming experience. It seems easier to me, but mostly because what you are doing is hidden behind dialog windows. I personally prefer the customization and automation abilities of PC-DMIS. Calypso can be customized but it isn't as intuitive, and it can be automated but their automation package comes with a price.

I have used mostly Calypso. That is what I know best. PC-DMIS is new for me. that being said PCD is a stronger program. Calypso is much easier to use. Programing on it simple and quick. There is not really any code it is all feature based. Click and go. That being said it also assume more then PCD with nominals and what you really want measured. You also have to add on to the base software package to really utilize it well. Also the Hexagon sales guys are better then Zeiss so are the trainers. Both are soild and you wont go wrong with ether. Just depends on the transmission you want manual or automatic.

Hey Stewnod this is an OFF-TOPIC question, if you have a question about PC-DMIS that needs to be answered that's fine, but if your asking about Collapse-oooo. take it somewhere else please.

Sorry, first time I posted. I didn't know. Can I move it to Off-Topic? or do I have to re-post it there?

sarajo That is left to an admin to move it. As a first time poster, I'll give you slack. Kirby likes playing bad cop sometimes, but he's all good!

Don Ruggieri Are you able to move it? Thanks!

Don't lie. We all know KIRBSTER269 is the grandpa sitting in the rocking chair on the porch telling kids, "Back in my day, we had to walk to school in 2 feet of snow up hill both ways."

No, he's the grandpa sitting on his porch yelling at people to get off his lawn.
