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.

Yes, I use the SetTool Command. When I issue the qualify command, the cmm goes through the motions and calibrates the tips, just does not update the results.

Another test I have done :- Automatically Select all the tips I want qualified, tell the operator to press the measure, measure buttons. This does not update results either. It's definitely something to do with being called via automation.
