Weird behavior of CMM. PCdmis runs ok, Inspect not

Hello all.

So I am having this issue where in one of my programs the DCC alignment fails but only when I execute the program from Inspect (version5.1.210.0) and not within PCdmis V2017 R2. The program starts correctly, probes a circle and then moves 10mm away in inspect trying to probe the plane. In PCdmis, the plane is probed as expected and the program continues.

The program is in a read only location for many many years and all this time using PCdmis we did not have any issue. Using inspect, the problem arises. I also tested in a second machine and same thing happens. I though Inspoect was a UI portal for the operator so what gives? 

Any help will be much appreciate it.

PS: The program cannot be revised that easily and any change takes ages in my enterprise and this issue is impacting production and also makes production and management think less of me as I opted for Inspect :S

  • Yea I know the setting although we are not using it. To tell you the truth the machines are undergoing validation for each one if their settings and changing them on the fly is next to impossible. The thing is that we have 50 programs as per our daily to use routines and we have never seen this issue in the past (1rst validated machine with inspect was last year).

    In any case, how can a program be executed from inspect rather than pcdmis directly impact its execution in terms of movement? This beats the point of having inspect all together...
