I've searched for this as I know this has been discussed once or twice. Can you output the runtime of a program? Or track it somehow just bu executing a program?
We are running CMMs (machinists, QA techs) virtually around the clock and boss want to know if we can track this for a week or so to justify getting a person to just run parts for the machinists.
Tracefield's only apply to stats, yes? Nothing gets dumped into stats.
If I can have this as a variable, I will open an external file, append it with the time/variable with a read line statement or whatever.
We do have a guy here who is our "DOS expert" looking at creating a batch file to see if he can open the elogo.dat file, read just the "#ELAPSTIM" and write/append that data to another file.
We are trying to justify either another CMM or a body on each shift to run parts. Mills it while operator run their parts and there is always a waiting line for parts to be run.
