How to Prompt to skip/run manual alignment?

I am writing 2 programs that fixtures will be moved frequently.

My goal is I would like to prompt to ask - Has fixture been moved on CMM? ...something along those lines. So I can either skip the manual alignment OR run it while in protected mode for the techs.

How would I go about this? More Info can be provided and can post code if need to.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

  • I would use a save/recall alignment.
    Something like :
    C1 =COMMENT/YESNO,
    Has the fixture moved?
    IF/C1.INPUT=="YES"
    measure the fixture
    Create the manual alignment
    ASSIGN/V1="ALN1"
    Save it as external alignment, name V1
    END IF/
    recall, external alignment V1

    The first time after a move, you create and save the alignment, else you recall it.
    After another move, you overwrite the file.
