I am trying to set up barcode scanners on our CMMs so that when the operator puts a part on the fixture, they will scan the part and it will automatically open the proper program. If this kind of thing possible? I have seen some people using scanners to add data via comments, but is it feasible to scan a part and have it open the corresponding program?
I use operator mode and set the default search path to an operator programs folder. The operator hits a file open hot key, then scans the barcode for the program.
Inspect works well for this as well, Inspect bogs down my computer so I don't use it, not sure if its the settings I have, old computer or whatever, but operator mode works fine for my purposes
