I've been writing my romer arm programs to end with a pointcloud operator exporting the scan so that no data is lost. I have added this command to the edit window thinking it would execute during the program with the rest of the features but for some reason it will only actually export if I F9 the command and click apply... during the program execution it still shows a progress bar and takes quite a while as if it was actually exporting it only nothing ever comes out....
Yes, marked for execution and shows a progress bar during the execution to lead me to believe it is being executed however no output at all and no error. It will only execute if I open the command after wards and click "Apply"
Now that I'm looking at this again I think I see what I left out. I used c1 comment to get the serial number from the operator and then I used <c1.input> in the "filename" field but I think that field needs a directory path in addition to the name. I've tried using variables and the input from the comment but still doing something wrong.
COP1 =COP/DATA,TOTAL SIZE=8047971,REDUCED SIZE=8047971,
REF=,
C1 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
Please enter sn
COPEXPORT1 =COP/OPER,EXPORT,FORMAT=XYZ,FILENAME=C:\USERS\METROLOGY\ONEDRIVE - MONARCH TRACTOR\METROLOGY_DATABASE\RAW_DATA\XYZ\"C1.INPUT".XYZ,
SIZE=8047971,REF=COP1,,
I tried this out and it gave me a "not found" error. I then removed the quotations in the "Filename=" field and it now exports during execution the only problem is the name it exports the file as is C1.INPUT. It is not recognizing it as a variable... I tried assigning C1.INPUT to V1 and it just exports as V1 now... any ideas?
I figured it out. PC-DMIS doesn't like variables ending with a backslash "" In the comment input box I will have to lead with this back slash and if I do that the following code executes successfully
