*.DMO file

[John Kingston]

Last night, our second shift inspector was running a proven program for me. This program uses an iterative alignment. He called me last night (Shutup Craig! I know what I said yesterday!), The program wasn't finding the alignment. Just kept cycling thru. I decided to pull my backup copy of the program off of the server and just replace the one on the CMM computer. I found a .DMO file with the same name as my program on the computer. It was created monday night and modified last night. What is it? I've never seen it before.

I opened this in notepad. Here are the first few lines of code. It looks like another method of outputing (is that a word?) the data, But ends at the end of the alignment.

John,

Its a DMIS out file. It can be used to create a Pure dmis program.

It looks like someone was experimenting.

[John Kingston]

Or guessing. He's never programmed. Thanks Jim. I'd never seen that before.
I deleted the program, used my backup and the problem appears to be gone.

(Until tonight, the Craig can rub it in more tomorrow
