Ok here is my question, I have been given the task of running a 30pc study on a rear window of a car. Just explain our plant is an Auto glass supplier for North America. So these rear windows are put on a fixture that checks for curve and bend comparison between the pieces. Once we have a alignment established on the fixture using tooling balls. The glass will be placed on the fixture and ran using pre selected points on the glass surface in CAD so we can compare Nominal vs. Actuals after the run. Is there an easy way to run these 30pcs without separating the 30pcs into 30 different programs and report them separately. By doing it like this we have noticed the more pieces we ran the slower and slower the machine gets. By the time we get to 30th piece the probe may hover above the 1st data point for 3min before it starts running.
Machine: DEA Delta sp

Sounds like you're running your program from the beginning the first time but starting after the alignment each subsequent time. That will slow down the program over time. I would use a separate fixture alignment program then recall the alignment in the part program first thing. As long as the fixture does not move you should have no problem.
