Printouts

[rbroyles]

We are using PC-DMIS Version 3.7 MR2 - we currently are printing two lines of results per printed page. We would like to run five pieces then have the program print the results on a single page. We are all novice users, our CMM programmer left the company. Can someone give an answer being as explicit as possible? Thanks

Are you familiar with looping?

No, really not familiar with looping, we are trying to learn from a book left when the programmer left.

:d

Are all the items dimensioned???

edit - preferences - edit window layout


Did he leave voluntarily??
How much do you pay?
How many days per year are below 50 degrees?
Does insanity hinder the credit deserved of the programmer?

[rbroyles]

Yes, they are dimensional

Oh boy. Inset a loop at the beginning of the program. Then put a comment after that to pause the program for loading another part. If you’d like you can put an input comment before the loop asking how many parts are being run and set your loop iterations to that. Here is some code. Essentially you just want to measure 5 parts so it will be easy, we won’t worry about offsetting.

V1         =LOOP/START, ID = YES, NUMBER = 5, START = 1, SKIP = ,
               OFFSET: XAXIS = 0, YAXIS = 0, ZAXIS = 0, ANGLE = 0
               COMMENT/OPER,NO,”Load the part to be measured.  Click OK to measure”
.
.(put all of your program code here)
.
            LOOP/END

The NUMBER = field is where you place the number of parts to be inspected. Your report dimensions will have index numbers ([1], [2], [3], etc) after the ID.

Thanks, I will try that this afternoon

You will need to make sure you have all of your movpoints placed appropriately, run it slow the first time.
