Newb question: Understanding DMIS language and common logic, format etc

I'm a darn good CNC programmer or so I've been told but now I must learn instead of how to speak NC machine language to speak the dmis language. Right now if I was in the land of dmis I wouldn't know how to ask where the restroom was. I can see that on the front end of dmis...the gui side...its a lot of drag and drop so to say with things and behind that sits the code that I have to learn. Now...I have an encyclopedia of dmis commands-codes. I know that just like NC code, some of the codes are used all the time, some almost all of the time, and some rarely. This is where I want to start...getting a handle on the commonality of the commands. I need a heads up on common newb pitfalls to avoid. Proper (or the more common) format and logical layout for sure.

Links to tutorial videos would be good. Links to sample programs that have descriptions of what this and that do would be very appreciated too. Cheat sheets!!! Man...do I need all the cheat sheets that I can get.

Thanks a lot in advance folks. I hope that this is the beginning of a not too painful experience....Slight smile

  • 2) You need to sit down with The Powers That Be who assigned you to the CMM and explain to them that the cost of the class is pennies compared to the costs of shipping bad parts, scrapping good parts, and crashing the CMM - all of which are regular occurences among un-trained CMM jockeys. We see this all the time. Did they take the floor sweeper or office flunkie and throw them on the CNC without training? Nope, and the CMM is the same way.

    I would print this statement out and give it to them while you explain it to them. This way it does not look like you must made it up. Or better yet just show them this WHOLE thread. That should get through to them.
