spc-light

Running SPC-Light on three CMM's. Files are batch managed monthly. At the start of each month two of the CMM's(SPC Light) automatically create new files but the third asks what features do I want studied. Does anyone know what setting I need to activate to make SPC-Light do this automatically

Thanks in advance

Hi Joe,

What do you mean by batch managed monthly?
Are you saying the data is stored for a month and then downloaded to SPC-Light in one go.

No the data goes straight to spc light after measuring. The way I've it setup is that at the start of each month spc light creates a new file and saves it under the part number and month name. This works fine for two of the cmm's, the third cmm will create a file but asks you to select the features you want measured. I reckon its a setting I need to tick somewhere that will prompt spc-light to do this automatically. Hope this makes it a bit clearer.

Have you tried drinking a beer yet? It seems to help with all of the other issues posted on this forum. Just a thought.

craiger, do you do anything else besides pick your nose and drink beer? I sure hope so...

What can I say? I love you guys. I must say I am starting to question my own usefulness here though. Oh well, lucky me we now have an off topic room.

Try "unchecking" the SDD interactive build in system settings. This will tell SPC Light to automatically run the data without asking which data to use. Hope this helps. Let me know if you figure it out.

I'm sorry, correction:

"uncheck" the Enable Interactive SDD Definition Imports box in system settings.

TH, thank you that worked. BTW I checked the other two CMM's that were running fine all along and that box is checked, strange.

What are you using to communicate between the CMM and SPC light? Are you using a CMM client?

I am running a PC-DMIS CMM client to automatically transfer my data to the SDD file server.

[joe.sha Member Find all posts View Profile Close joe.sha]

Yep using the exact same as yourself. In the Startup I've the SDD server and PC-Dmis CMM client. I've no training on SPC Light so I'm figuring it out as I go along (or should that be ye're figuring it out for me).
