Can PC-DMIS Automatically Take And Save Photos Of Live Image??

Hey guys,

I'm trying to incorporate a line of code that would save an image to a file path before, during or after it measures that feature. Is this possible?

Say the CMM is in DCC mode and the program is measuring a circle, if the circle appears in the live view screen is there any command or line of code to add to save an image of the circle as is before moving onto the next feature?

This would be very helpful in alot of the applications I program for.

Thanks!!!

    To be honest, I want to see the code you wrote that works!

    And one way to go about that would be to, if all 1024 holes are coded, would be to make an IF_GOTO statement at the end of each feature (unfortunately) and if it's out, snap a pic. Or you could do that after the dimensioning, and have it at the end of the program; use variables to assign the XYZW of the features, move/rotate to them and take your picture.

    I'm sure there are subscripts you can use in VB that would be able to make an array of all of the out of tolerance features, record their XYZW and move to them/execute the code, probably in only a few lines.

    Unfortunately I'm still trying to grasp concepts in VB so I don't have a full working solution yet.
