Probe Qualification Results/Statistics

Can anyone explain how I can get the results from my probe qualifications into a dimension or report, in order to export them to a statistics package (QC-Calc preferably)? I'd like to be able to track all of these results, and not have to look at the results text file everytime I want to see them. I'm running PC-Dmis 2010, if it matters. Any thoughts?
  • It would if I could get V3.2 to even accept it into the code.

    Is there a specific insertion point?

    QUIET Ironhoe, let the man think.


    I don't know how much coding ability there was in a version that old.

    1) Has to be after the loadprobe
    2) before checking the part

    LOADPROBE/27672
                TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=-0.321
                PROBECOM/ON
                ASSIGN/V1=0
    

    put your cursor at the end of the TIP command line, hit enter, start typing ASSIGN and it should give you what I've shown.

    Don't know about V3.2, but in V4.1
    Insert line of code into editor window
    assign/v1 = PROBEDATA("DIAM")

    variable v1 will have the probe diameter of the active probe

    This typed into 3.2063 after the tip command as Matt said appears to work after execution the "hover" displays a valid number for the probe diameter.

  • Just got finished up implementing this, and it worked perfect. I was able to pass the data from my probe qualification into my report using varibles, including the nominal values for the probes. With STI (althought it would be the same with a standard report), my operators now have pass/fail feedback when then finish qualifying probe tips, and I'm also able to track all of this via QC-Calc, and get an instant email alert if the probe results don't meet my requirements. Thanks to all for the help, and if anyone needs any info on what I did, give me a yell!!

    It would be helpful if you posted an example of your code in Tips & Tricks or Code Samples for this application.
  • Is there any way to get the Max stddev of all tip angles for a certain tip? We have multiple cmms and they do not calibrate the same tips because they are dedicated to certain product so I cant have one program that specifies tip angles that will work for all.
  • Here is one example of Qualification Check for one probe.

    LOADPROBE/FI4L20
    TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=0
    MOVESPEED/ 40
    AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=TEST_FI4L20, QUALTOOL_MOVED=NO,
    CHECK COLLISION=NO, SHOW_SUMMARY=YES, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO
    BEGIN AUTOCALIBRATE RESULTS FOR PROBE FI4L20 USING SET TEST_FI4L20

    How can get variable with assign function for this

    Thanks!
  • The better question is what purpose does this serve? Probe qualification only shows difference from expected values and measured values as a reference to the master probe. The information here isn't something that you can chart and get information that's useful. You're better off creating a program that origins your master probe on the qual sphere and then measures it in several other angles. This will provided actual data that you can chart.
  • You have to play a little with the right click, changing the display value, then play with getcommand and gettext assignments...
    As said, it would be interesting to know what you want to do with this...
    Maybe creating a statistic on repeatability of positionning could use it...
