Auto calibrate question

I am building a program for our operators that specifically calibrates our probes. We use 3 different probes, using a probe changer rack. I am implementing the use of password protection due to the frequent "fat-finger" occurences. I need a way to let operators calibrate as easy as possible. The company i work for requires the operators to calibrate at the beginning of every shift and we run the machines 24/7 with 4 shifts of operators. I have the calibration program built. I just can't find an answer for the meaning of this:

AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=ALL-TIPS-WITH-DEFAULTS, QUALTOOL_MOVED=YES_DCC,
SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=YES

the last statement is "OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=YES. I assume I want to say YES. However, even when I had NO selected i could see the results files updated when i ran the program. Does anyone know what choosing yes or no does in this situation?

I believe the alternative to OVERWRITE is actually APPEND. It is a text file, you can view it yourself to see if that is the case.

The text file is in the same file as your probe file but can be viewed from the probe window, select the "results" button to view those reports. I also use the auto calibrate with pdf output with date & time. One of mine is set up to do 6 different calibrations depending on with family of parts are being ran.
