Error Handling option coding

Hi guys, its been a while ! Need some help....I have the basics down for error handling and have code for one option, part of level 3 pc-dmis training....but want to go one step more....

So, if I wanted it to do something else, rather than increment around 22.5 degrees....then what ?

Lets say I wanted it to flag the operator, pause the program and let him manually measure it avoid a bad spot, then carry on the program again....

Sorry, coding is my weakest link here and I figured someone may have code doing something the same or similar....open to any and all coding examples.....

TIA !

Jim,
Eh, let's not go out on the limb over thin ice of trusting an operator to manually miss possible form defects...
Try this:


LABEL/Begin_trying


DCC CIR_1 measured with 8 hits, make it an Autocircle with an avoidance move After to get the tip out of the hole.

Dimension CIR_1 for roundness, let's name this dimension RND1

IF/ RND1.OUTTOL > 0

[COLOR=#008000].    The If Test to see if the out-of-tol number delivered by the dimension is greater than zero will return True of False, 1 or 0.
 .    Now if the test turned out to be True, then any and all code between the IF and the END_IF gets executed.
.                                      but if the test returned False then all the code between the IF and END_IF gets skipped.)
.    So here are the actions that happen if the roundness fails:[/COLOR]

.   Operator Comment: "Clean the hole with denatured alcohol and lint-free material, then click OK

.   GOTO/Begin_trying

END_IF

Now the sharp eyed will immediately grin and wag a finger with a stern warning about the danger of Infinite Loops!
Then we add some more fun stuff to the code to fix that:

[COLOR=#0000FF]Assign/Counter_Variable=0[/COLOR]

LABEL/Begin_trying

[COLOR=#0000FF]Assign/Counter_Variable=Counter_Variable + 1


IF Counter_Variable > 3

.    Operator Comment, "Inform production of roundness defect"

.   GOTO Skip_Position

END_IF[/COLOR]


DCC CIR_1 measured with 8 hits.

Dimension CIR_1 for roundness RND1

IF/ RND1.OUTTOL > 0

.   Operator Comment: "Clean the hole with denatured alcohol and lint-free material, then click OK

.   GOTO/Begin_trying

END_IF

[COLOR=#0000FF]Dimension Position & size of CIR_1
