Is there a command in PC-DMIS to stop/cancel execution?

Hi All,

I have a simple part program that measure a component.
The first thing I do is measure a plane, if the plane shows a flatness error greater than 7 microns I inform the operator, i.e.

IF/FLAT1.MEAS >0.007
COMMENT/OPER,NO,"Please Contact Cell Engineer"
,"Flatness of Fixture Greater than 7 microns"
,"Measured value:" + FLAT1.MEAS
END_IF/

The problem is my message to the operators has OK and CANCEL buttons. If the operator clicks CANCEL then the program execution is aborted (perfect!). However, if the operator clicks OK the program continues.

Is it possible to just have an OK button, which once clicked forces the program execution to be aborted (like CANCEL does on my current message) ??

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Use an IF/ GOTO statement, if the dev > 0.007, then goto a label, put a label at the end of the program.

Have the current IF-clause point to the label that you have placed at the end of the program and put the operator comment after that label.

Place a PROGRAM/END statement in your If End/if:

IF/FLAT1.MEAS >0.007
COMMENT/OPER,NO,"Please Contact Cell Engineer"
,"Flatness of Fixture Greater than 7 microns"
,"Measured value:" + FLAT1.MEAS
PROGRAM/END
END_IF/

END_IF/

Even better!

while this is probably 'legal' it would be logically better to have a GOTO to jump to the end of the program.

Thanks guys for your help - some good ideas here which I will implement next time I can get on our CMM.
