Basic Instruction

RussL
We have never used Datapage at all here, we do have licenses for it,
I opened it, browsed through some threads here....
I am looking for some basic instruction on how it works/ how to use it.
I am assuming I have to place a command in the PC D-MIS program to
export data to datapage, if so, perhaps someone can let me know the command to use.
I suppose I can do some SPC graphs/charts after more than one part is run.
But how do I fake running parts.
We only have licenses on the CMM PC's (no off-line).
How do I simulate running say ten parts with varying measured values
so I can check out how datapage works?

  • open windows Explorer
    Create a folder where CMM data is to be stored
    note do not make folder name to big: data page editor has a limit viewing area for name field
    close explorer
    Data Page Editor
    Open Data Page editor Database > New Follow path to new folder created by window explorer
    Click Ok and OK you have created a new data base.
    CMM Program Near the beginning of the program
    Click on "Insert - Statistics Command > Statistics A window pop up labeled "Statistics Options" will appear On the right side of the pop up you will find "Database Options"
    Stats Options
    Click on "On"
    Database Options
    Click on "DataPage"
    DataPage Variable Name
    Click on "Use Dimension Name" If you use Feature Name you can only tolerance that feature once If you tolerance feature twice it will over write the first. Database Directories Click on "Add Directory To List" There is a field labeled "Statistic Directory to Add" Click on the Gray Button "..." New pop up "Choose Directory" Click on the drive that the data will be saved on.
    I created a folder on my C Drive labeled Datapage V# (Version number of data page) V3.32
    This folder also can have sub folders.
    Click on OK button.
    The following example will appear
    STATS/ON,DATAPAGE,$
    DIRECTORY=C:\DATAPAGE V3.32\cmmdata,$
    DIRECTORY=,$
    READ=10,WRITE=20,MEMPAGES=4,DIMENSION NAME,CONTROLCALC OFF,$
    STATS/END

    Here is were the trace fields come in. Click on "Insert - Statistics Command > Trace Fields
    Examples: TRACEFIELD/DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Serial # : Unit 2
    TRACEFIELD/DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Chart# :8190330021
    TRACEFIELD/DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Print Rev :Rev 2 06DE25
    You can add more for ease of use and tracking parts.
    You Can also use Comment Inputs in Trace fields
    COM_31PNT1 =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Input Ø31 PNT1 pre test height.' ASSIGN/VAR_36_7PNT1 = COM_31PNT1.INPUT TRACEFIELD/DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Print Rev :VAR_36_7PNT1 RUN CMM Program OFF line send stats to datapage

    Open Datapage Editor
    View>Variable>Spread Sheet Editor
    Select Parts to Edit
    Click on Part #
    Window will pop up with Left column in alpha Numeric order of dimensions
    2nd column will be blank
    3rd column will be Nominal

    in the 2nd Column I type in a description of the dimension
    Most of the time I Name the features in the CMM Program
    then Copy and Paste the same into column 2
    When completed EDIT>Save

    Variable Sets
    If Dimension order needs to be changed from the CMM Program Measured order
    View>Variable Sets
    Click on Part #
    Variable Set Drop Down Meas_Order
    Variable Set List Field will Show Dimensions in Measured Order
    Variable List Field will be in alpha numeric Order

    Click on New
    Type name of new file
    example "Inspection"
    Variable Set List Field will be Blank
    By clicking on dimensions in Variable List
    Click on left Arrow
    keep doing this till features you want to report are all in Variable Set list
