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!

  • Ok this is stupid but I will report it for future reference in case of need by somebody. The solution is a tickbox in preferences, setup - Using line notation. I could swear that I tested this... In any case, not ticking the box provides results in the form of K0004/0 date and time for each measurement. Finally I got the solution. Thanks everybody for the support!
