Using Barcode Scanner to Open Programs

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?

  • IMO inspect will do the trick not only opening programs but also assigning tracefields from the same barcode such as WO number or Lot number etc. Creating the barcode to do all these is another topic but still easily doable. Keep in mind while Inspect is free, the barcode functionality comes with a license of a couple ks
