Excel Files lost

Hello All!
I am relatively new to the CMM programming world and am curious about a potential coding work around for Poor network connectivity issues. In short, our CMM is set to save the excel files directly to a pre-specified network folder so that they may be accessed by our engineering team in another facility about 40 miles away. our network connectivity is quite shoddy at times and when that port goes down all Excel data appears to be "Lost" is this information stored anywhere locally? or is it simply gone? if it isnt backed up anywhere is there a way i can set up PC-DMIS to duplicate the export in another location?

  • Yes you can make it save locally too. What method are you using to write to the network? Script? Print Command? Report Window Setup? You can use all of there in conjunction with one another and write the same data to several locations at the same time. I currently write to a PDF and two different Excel files. One excel and the PDF are full runs and the 2nd Excel is only the data that we want to do SPC on.


    Edit: And I also sometimes have it print the reports
