Probe Calibration Interval Stop Gap

Diego_Fuego
I am looking to terminate a program if the probe tips have not been calibrated withing a certain time frame. The warning message just isn't enough for these guys... I think I need functions PROBEDATA() and SYSTEMDATE() but I am not sure what expression I need to evaluate for an "IF" flow control command. Anyone, do anything similar or have experience with this? Need to add a request in idea center. This seems like it should be an option in the probe setup.
  • How about this?
    If the calibration date is older than the current date then it skips to the end of the program 


    ASSIGN/V1=PROBEDATA("DATE")
ASSIGN/V2=SYSTEMDATE("MM'/'dd'/'yy")
IF_GOTO/V1<V2,GOTO = L1
PNT1 =FEAT/CONTACT/VECTOR POINT/DEFAULT,CARTESIAN
THEO/<-17,638.4,-16>,<0,0,-1>
ACTL/<-17,638.4,-16>,<0,0,-1>
TARG/<-17,638.4,-16>,<0,0,-1>

SHOW CONTACT PARAMETERS=NO

    I attached a photo of the code as well (For me that is easier to read than the userforum code function)
  • You could also do this

    ASSIGN/V1=PROBEDATA("DATE")
    ASSIGN/V2=SYSTEMDATE("MM'/'dd'/'yy")
    IF_GOTO/V1==V2,GOTO = L1
    AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=SET1, QUALTOOL_MOVED=NO,
    CHECK COLLISION=NO, SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO
    L1 =LABEL/


    that way if the calibration date = the current date it will skip the auto cal and if it doesnt it will run the autocal
  • Thank you LaserJay! This is great!

    What would be the expression to evaluate if the probe date is more than two days in the past? Confused
  • Here you go!

    Change the - 2 in the bolded line for the amount of days that you want to wait for a calibration.
    Calibrate Monday, due Thursday -2
    Calibrate Monday due Wednesday -1
    Calibrate Monday due Tuesday -0

    Here is how the schedule would occur (Assuming we calibrated yesterday with a -2)
    Cal Date Due Date
    10/28/20 10/26/20 (current day -2)
    10/28/20 10/27/20
    10/28/20 10/28/20 (cal date = due date nothing will happen)
    10/28/20 10/29/20 (cal date < due date program will not execute until probe is calibrated) 

    
ASSIGN/V1=PROBEDATA("DATE")
ASSIGN/MONTH=SYSTEMDATE("MM")
[B]ASSIGN/DAY=SYSTEMDATE("dd")-2[/B]
ASSIGN/YEAR=SYSTEMDATE("yy")
ASSIGN/CALDATE=PROBEDATA("DATE")
ASSIGN/DUEDATE=MONTH+"/"+DAY+"/"+YEAR

  • this is what I need the concatenate for

    ASSIGN/DUEDATE=MONTH+"/"+DAY+"/"+YEAR
  • in reply to LaserJay
    I just thought of something that would be cool. Add this to the end of your program

    If you need to calibrate it will go to L1 and launch the Operator comment "Calibrate Probe" and then when you hit ok or cancel it will end the program
    If your calibration is good it will run the program and eventually get to GOTO/L2 which will skip the comment

    GOTO/L2
    L1 =LABEL/
    COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
    Calibrate Probe!
    L2 =LABEL/
