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.

Got this working now using the Windows API and LB_SETSEL after utulising the automation functions to determine the tips I need calibrated.

Once this is done, the user presses Measure, Measure as usual as control is now from PC-DMIS and not my application. Everything updates now with a normal results file etc.

Not ideal and would much prefer the Automation to work in full as this method can become redundant with future Windows versions.
