We have an issue while reporting a surface profile using MINMAX for formatting. During offline simulation the report looks correct and shows the surface profile correctly with a MIN/MAX in the report, but when run on the CMM the report shows the surface profile as a typical +/- TOL. See below.
How it should look in the report...
But it seems as if it reports like this.
Is there a setting on the CMM in the PC-DMIS software that would cause this? This only seems to effect two part numbers out of about 12. Normally we wouldn't worry that much about this but it is messing with our automatic data collection and analysis. Even our PCD Guru is stumped.
I've seen this happen. Seems to depend on when (actual calendar time, not place in the program) you activated the MINMAX command. You can make a new program, set your formatting, then paste everything from the earlier program into the new one, and it usually works.
