QDAS converter - Can I include K0004 date and time?

Hello guys,

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!

  • Hello thanks for the input. In fact I was using the final 5.xxx.xxx version that exists found here - https://ftp.hexmet.de/PC-DMIS/PC-DMIS_Q-DAS_Converter/PC-DMIS_Q-DAS_Converter_Version_5/

    Thing is that I read somewhere that this would be the final version of the converter which apparently is not the case since there is a version 6. I will download it and try to see if the K0004 is indeed automatically generated unlike the latest version 5.

    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.


    I do not think I understand what you mean here! In any case, I hope this update will solve this issue!
