Kicking butt good job Dev team, keep it moving!

Please - marketing/sales and all non-developing departments within Hexagon, leave the PC-DMIS developers alone and let them maintain this bug-fixing momentum gained through hard, passionate work.
Amen.

[cvelisetty]

Amen! many more to come.

Can you/one of your colleagues provide more clarification on "PCD-195832"?

I use Tesastar MP_US stuff. I also have 6way Tp20s. If I define the probe to the software by telling it that I am using a 6wayTp20, it will refuse to put the probe in my probe rack. I have to lie to PC DMIS and tell it I am using Tesastar module even though I am really physically using the 6way. Once I lie to the software, only then will it dock like all of my other probes.

Does "PCD-195832" fix this issue?

[cvelisetty]

Hi DAN_M,

I checked PCD-195832 and below are the list of components that are added as part of the fix.

US version of the Tesastar MP components:

HP-TM-B-US
HP-TM-LF-US
HP-TM-SF-US
HP-TM-MF-US
HP-TM-EF-US


For Tesastar US compatible support of the Renishaw 6WAY module:

HP-TM-6WAY-US

That 6WAY item can be attached to either the new HP-TM-B-US item or the older TesastarMP_BODY_US item.


Please let us know if these are the components that are being used at your end.

cvelisetty Here is one example.

I am physically using a 6way TP20 but I have to tell PC DMIS that I am using "TesastarMP_module_EF_US" or it won't dock.

I have three probes where I have to do this, all using the EF_US

[JEFMAN]

DAN_M : Did you try to copy an old probe.dat in your usrprobe.dat ?

[DAN_M]

When I first got the 6way & properly defined it to the software & realized it wouldn't dock, I deleted the probe file and re-made it a couple of times. That didn't help =/.

The only way I could get it to work was to lie to it & tell it I'm using Tesastar stuff

[Don Ruggieri]

Sorry I missed this conversation. Yes, that issue should be correct now. BUT, you will have to once again define the probe files with the proper components (6 way TP20) for the system to recognize them and allow them to work in the changers.

[DAN_M]

Awesome, thanks Don!
