Data not getting to datapage

Why is it that my data has stopped recording to datapage? Seems like it stopped back in May. Has anyone out there seen the same problem. If so what have you done to correct the problem. I have DataPage + 2011 Release. Running with PC-DMIS CAD++ 2013 Release.

  • Hmmm, I don't understand the use of the listening/end commands.

    EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\WAI\DATAPAGE+ 2011 MR1\DATAPAGESTATS.EXE


    That's all I have, at the end of the program. I've never had an issue with dimensions being missed.


    If you have flow control (loops/goto/if statement) in your part program then you need to use the datapage stats command at the top of the part program with the listening command. This will allow PC-DMIS to follow the flow control of the part program and collect data according to your flow control.

    If you do not use flow control then you can use the datapage stats at the bottom of the part program without any flags. This will collect all of the data in the part program, regardless of flow control and import it into Datapage.

    the -end flag is only required if you're using loops and need each set of data to create a new transaction inside Datapage. You will have the datapage stats command with listening at the top of your loop, and the end command at the bottom of the loop before the loop end command. The end command will tell datapage to close the stats file and stop taking stats. This is not required at the end of a part program under most circumstances.
