PC DMIS 2024.2 printing Data

Are you saying the Report Window values that are displayed within PC-DMIS do not match the physical printout? Can you share a screenshot of the report window if so?

This is what the screen shows

This is the print out

That may be it. I believe View Last Execution Report Mode should match your data. Have you had this issue in the past?

I had contacted Hexagon recently. A new program showed data, and the printout showed ERROR. They have not gotten back to me yet.

Before using 2024.2 do you know what versions you have used? And is this a new issue that occurred when moving to 2024.2

I am just learning to become a programmer. I do not recall this has happening before. We updated from 2024.1, 2022.2 previous to that

I am somewhat certain that the reason they do not match is due to looping. If you guys used DO/UNTIL instead of the built in LOOP function, the Report Window might stack all report data from each part ran into the report window from each loop. We have only one program with a "loop" that uses GOTO commands, and some variables. No issues with it matching, BUT we are 2023.2

Thank you. I will try that

Geo Tol does not like LOOPS! You have to have a print command at the end of each loop, to print off a report, then make sure DELETE_INSTANCES is on. There is an issue with how that geometric library operates and "holds onto" data. You can run a flow that will print off the first one, then append reports to that original report when the loop is greater than 1. 

Look into using the DO/UNTIL function rather than the native LOOP function within PC-DMIS. 

Ok, thank you

I do have it Looping, if that matters

Please see: Structuring your Measurement Routine for Geometric Tolerances

The geometric tolerance command does not generally support looping.  Looping the entire program is acceptable but loops within a program would only work if everything referenced by the geometric tolerance command (features, datums and their applicable geometric tolerances) were all contained within the same loop instance..

Thank you, Neil Challinor. I'll read more on this.
