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.

    PROBEDATA can get you much info.


    assign/v1=PROBEDATA() this gives active probe tip


    assign/v2=PROBEDATA("TOFFSET") this gives THEO offset


    assign/v3=PROBEDATA("OFFSET") this gives actual offset


    assign/v4=PROBEDATA("VECTOR") this gives vector


    assign/v5=PROBEDATA("A") this gives "A" angle of wrist


    assign/v6=PROBEDATA("B") this gives "B" angle of wrist


    assign/v7=PROBEDATA("TDIAM") this gives THEO tip diam


    assign/v8=PROBEDATA("DIAM") this gives actual tip diam


    assign/v9=PROBEDATA("DATE") this gives date of last qual


    assign/v10=PROBEDATA("TIME") this give time of last qual


    assign/v11=PROBEDATA("STANDARDDEVIATION") this gives STDDEV






    For any other (not current tip rotation in use) ex. T1A9045B0


    assign/v2=PROBEDATA("TOFFSET","T1A9045B0") this gives THEO offset


    assign/v3=PROBEDATA("OFFSET","T1A9045B0") this gives actual offset


    assign/v4=PROBEDATA("VECTOR","T1A9045B0") this gives vector


    assign/v5=PROBEDATA("A","T1A9045B0") this gives "A" angle of wrist


    assign/v6=PROBEDATA("B","T1A9045B0") this gives "B" angle of wrist


    assign/v7=PROBEDATA("TDIAM","T1A9045B0") this gives THEO tip diam


    assign/v8=PROBEDATA("DIAM","T1A9045B0") this gives actual tip diam


    assign/v9=PROBEDATA("DATE","T1A9045B0") this gives date of last qual


    assign/v10=PROBEDATA("TIME","T1A9045B0") this give time of last qual


    assign/v11=PROBEDATA("STANDARDDEVIATION","T1A9045B0") this gives STDDEV




    Hope this helps you
