OUTTOLS Script help

N3WPV
I am using the OUTTOLS script found here but need help modifying it for my needs.

We have a part that gets checked on the CMM then data is written to a csv file to be uploaded to a customers database. However if a part has an OOT dimension we rework the part and check it again. I need a way to evaluate for an OOT condition and if there is one to NOT send any data to my csv file. How can I modify the aforementioned script to pass a variable back to PCD? I will then use that variable in an IF/THEN statement to determine whether or not to export the data. Thanks!

  • Wow this is old!

    This was only really designed to give me a total dimensions out count at the end of a part execution. I used to send this stuff to a database and track OOT dimensions over long periods of time based on part number. Chart it up at the end of the month, and the problem jobs pop out. The messagebox DID display the correct feature....when used with PC-DMIS 2009....

    Old, but works very well! The messagebox works fine for me in 2011 MR1.

    This is the code I have in my part program: 

    ASSIGN/NUMBEROUTTOL=0
CS4        =SCRIPT/FILENAME= J:\CMM\REPORTING\SCRIPTS\OUTTOL.BAS
FUNCTION/Main,SHOW=NO,,
STARTSCRIPT/
ASSIGN/NUMOUTTOL=NUMBEROUTTOL
IF/NUMOUTTOL==0
END_IF/
ELSE_IF/NUMOUTTOL>0
COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
"Part is Bad. There are "+NUMOUTTOL+" dimensions out of tolerance."
END_ELSEIF/


    I actually end up with two message boxes, one from the script and one from the above code. That way the operator is sure to see (and hopefully read) one of them. We use this for sending data to a customer database. Data is only sent if no dim's are OOT. If there are OOT dim's the operator must re-work the parts until all dim's are in tolerance.
