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:
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?
also, if you insert operator comments before and after your goto's and labels, you can effectively track and confirm the route that the CMM is going.
ex:
Move_1=/label
Comment/oper= routine is now at Move_1
Assign STD1
Comment/oper= "routine is just before IF_GOTO, assign STD1 value is "+STD1+
If_GOTO /STD1>=0.01, GOTO= Move_1
Comment/oper= routine is just after IF_GOTO, it didn't go-to.
