I am currently in version 2017 and in this version, having the seperate PCDMIS to QDAS converter program provided by hexagon, is the only option for a .dfq output. I do not have much experience with it but I was able to integrate it to my core program and I am getting automatically my measurments in .dfq format. Also I was able with trackfield commands to add information such as machine name, work order, batch number etc... For the love of me although, I could not find a way to add the K0004 field which is data for the current date and time.
After a long day, I ended up believing that this is possible with later versions of pcdmis that do not need the converter program only. AFAIK, I can only add the K0004 after the program execution with pcdmis appending the exported file, but this is bypassing and I want to look into it as a final solution.
Do you guys have any idea or experience for that matter? Thanks in advance!
this converter is still an active product, developed at Hexagon in Germany (also available for the latest PC-DMIS Versions). The K0004 is automatically generated from the converter. Based on a lot of customer request we will take a time stamp for all characteristics if the measurement routine is executed. There is in the moment no possibility to overwrite this value. If this is a request, please let me know and we can do this in a future version.
