Is it possible to create an autocalibration program that only calibrates global used angles for each probe build? Currently it calibrates all tip angles for each probe.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was hoping to automatically update the list through programming.
My plan was to load only programs that we are running for the week onto each CMM and have the probe calibration program search programs in a specific folder for the probes and angles used and calibrate only those. This would enable autocalibration for just the needed probes and angles without calibrating everything each time.
Currently I open the calibration program, search global used and update the parameter set.
You definitely can update the list by pulling tips from only programs you will need that week. You just need to create a folder with a copy of the programs for the week and run that excel script. There's certainly ways to do what you want.
davehocum is quite good with scripts he may be able to help. You can also add Basic command scripts within pcdmis. I've not done enough with them to have a full understanding. That spreadsheet in the thread I linked above has a Visual Basic script within excel that pulls tip data. You may be able to play with that.
