How To Force PCDMIS to Save Results Via Automation ?

Hi All,

I have a strange problem where I have automated the tip selection to be calibrated and select these via automation.

I'm an IT guy and using PCDMIS offline to test and everything works e.g. results file gets updated etc.

When I go live on the cmm, the probe goes through the motions after my .Qualify command and calibrates all the tips, but does not update the XYZ, diameter etc to the probe tip data, or output the ProbeFileName.results file ?

Am I missing something here ?

Do I need to re-interogate some Automation feature to access the results and create my own results file ?

Or do I need to set a particular property to make dmis save the results file ?

I'm not issuing DMIS commands to the program, just using Automation with all the standard objects and properties.

Cheers,

Dougie.

  • Further update. Catching machine events returns all the calibration hits to my application, though I'm still not getting any 'OnObjectExected' events which is strange.

    Is there a function or method I can call to convert this hit data to the x,y,z offsets of the tip ?

    I get five hits from the probe returned (although this could be any number i'm sure).

    I need to know how to convert this hit data to the figures that would be saved against the tip on pcdmis qualification.

    Can anyone help ?
