Probe Calibration Interval Stop Gap

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.

  • 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
