External Command Fail

So I finally got my new computer for other machine. Did a fresh new install of PC-DMIS and Datapage +5.2, on windows 10. So a few of us still use the External Command, Listening at the top and End at the bottom. Well if you don't install Datapage 5.0 and install 5.2, this little knickknack don't work. spent all day with Hexagon just to find this out. Now if you put External Command without -END or -E it works which takes a while to record. You have to have Data Importer 5.0 gathering info and Datapage 5.0, and it will still show up in DataPage 5.2. Now it actually seems to work fine on my windows 7 computer, even though I have both Datapages installed, I do use the Data Importer 5.2 gathering the information, results no problem. So I'm kinda guessing this might be a Windows 10 thing. Now Stats update seems to work no problem.

One more thing to add, I'm sure Hexagon will get right on this and fix it Rolling eyes

  • I'm running DP+ 5.2 on my database computer, and using the DataPageStats.exe from DP+ 5.2 on both CMM computers. I don't use listening, or end, or any of that other crap. Just a single external command at the end of the program. I'm not sure what you're problem is.

    The only issue I have is that things will go into DP out of order if I have more alignments than just manual and DCC. But that's easily fixed (and I've described that fix elsewhere if you need that).

  • Well Vinnster, I have not had any problems with this in Windows 7, and actually if I use Datapage 5.0 in Windows 10, it works without a hitch. Like I said there is an error that pops up when I open 5.2, which I will display when I hook the computer back up. But that popup does not appear when I open 5.0. I am sure this is the issue. I just don't know what it is nor what it means. Are you running Windows 10?, I thought you resorted back to 7. The only reason I was doing listening and end, because it was taking for ever to dump. It worked fine so why change right? Rolling eyes Oh and FYI, those results you see, I actually setup Stats. Like I said I tried every route to record. That was my best result.
