This will stop the operators from running parts too hot or too cold.

Trying the code tags.................hey it works!

You wrote the code I have put below. Do you have any idea as to how to change it to read the X/Y or Z temperatures and have it keep the CMM from running until the part is within ±2° of any or the average of the CMM axis temps? This would help those of us that or labs are not aways at 68°F.

Thanks,

NOTE: 2ND TEMP CODE HAS THE TIME DELAY FUNCTION SET AT .... 60 SEC?

Hope that helps.... Ive have meeting most of the afternoon but, ill try to check in later....

Dewain.... Ignore me privite message... Its missing a line of code!!

Assign/xtemp1 = left(gettext(529,0,v3),5)
assign/ytemp1 = left(gettext(530,0,v3),5)
assign/ztemp1 = left(gettext(531,0,v3),5)
assign/parttemp1 = left(gettext(532,0,v3),5)

i saved this..... Tx again don!!!
