Keep track of probe usage

Lorenzo_be
Hi,

I had a look around google and the forum but wasnt able to find what i searched for...

I guess We're not the only ones using tons of wrist positions for their probes to be able to measure everything production throws at us Smiley
Is there an easy way to keep track of the different probes / probe angles. I'm sure there are some that we dont need anymore but would like to be sure / keep track of this in the future.
Like a Deamon that puts the Probe, routine name, angle and date in a textfile for later analyse.
I'm open for every proposal; How do you keep track of your probes / angles?

A nice day to all of you ;-)

  • there's a Macro enabled excel file floating around on the foum, called "Listfiles.xlsm"
    You will need to edit the macro library to reference your revision of PCDMIS and it's stored location of the library of command references that neil mentioned.
    from there, you should copy all your routines into a new file folder.
    you can use MS DOS to you will need to consolidate all your routines
    -cd/ browse to your folder directory you copied all the routines into, then input this: " for /r %f in (*) do @copy "%f" .". Use everything within the quotes exactly as it is typed out, including the spaces and . at the end... don't include quotes.

    From there run the listfiles macro by selecting that directory.
    macro will open every routine you have in that directory, and report every probe and up to 5 angles of that probe, for each routine.

    with that, you can sort the probes, and then list all the angles for each probe you actually use.

    Compare it to your probe cal window, and delete the unused probe angles.

    Mkay, just telling you what ive experienced with it. maybe it worked well in your situation.
    just saying dont trust it entirely, backup your files, test it and then analyze it for correctness.
    never said it was bad just dont put too much faith into untested scripts etc.
