Programming to allow for a choice between 2 different Auto Calibrate commands

Trevor McLaughlin
This is relatively simple code, but new users might find it helpful. I was recently asked if I could help automate a company’s probe calibration routine and write a program that would run one of 2 Auto Calibrate routines: one for “yes, the cal sphere has moved,” and “no, the cal sphere has not moved.”

First question: Do you want to calibrate the probe?

Second question: Has the calibration sphere moved? 

STARTUP    =ALIGNMENT/START,RECALL:USE_PART_SETUP,LIST=YES
            ALIGNMENT/END
            MODE/DCC
            FORMAT/TEXT,OPTIONS, ,HEADINGS,SYMBOLS, ;NOM,TOL,MEAS,DEV,OUTTOL, ,
            LOADPROBE/3X20MM
            TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=0
C2         =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
            Do you want to calibrate?
            IF/C2.INPUT=="YES"
C1           =COMMENT/YESNO,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
              Has the cal sphere moved?
              IF/C1.INPUT=="YES"
                COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
                Take a manual hit to locate cal sphere
                AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=ALL-TIPS-WITH-DEFAULTS, QUALTOOL_MOVED=YES_MANUAL,
                              SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO
              END_IF/
              ELSE_IF/C1.INPUT=="NO"
                AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=ALL-TIPS-WITH-DEFAULTS, QUALTOOL_MOVED=NO,
                              SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO
              END_ELSEIF/
            END_IF/
            COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
            PRESS "OK" TO BEGIN CMM PROGRAM
            MODE/DCC

  • To be honest, I've never actually paid attention to that bit of code. If your probe is built, defined and calibrated correctly, then the code should show the angle it needs to show. I did a quick search and couldn't find a description for that field. I'll keep digging now that you've got me curious.

    Are you having issues with running your program or are you just wondering why yours looks different than mine?
