Command argument out of limit

BaigZadeh
Hi,
I am getting an error message "Command argument out of limit" whenever i try to ctrl+e a single feature of a program after the program has ran through fully. It is happening with all current programs. I feel another employee has changed a setting, has anyone ever had this issue before?

Thanks

  • I have had this happen to me. There is a bug in PC-DMIS where, when calibrating probes, you could potentially end up with a negative tip diameter. It usually happens when someone calibrates the probe with the wrong calibration sphere selected (something significantly smaller than the one physically on the machine). The controller will return this error because the PRBPIN command sent by PC-DMIS includes a negative tip diameter and that is the argument the controller is rejecting. It makes sense that this pops up every time you try to measure something using CTRL+E as the PRBPIN command is sent at that time.

    To get around this I found I had to create an offline program in order to access the probe and use the option 'Reset Tips' to clear it. Once you do this you can return to your online program, calibrate tips, and carry on normally.
