Probe Options

David Courtney 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 4 years ago 5

I want to be able to calibrate probes and assign probes to the probe change rack within the Inspect Interface. I want to be able to manage probe calibrations for each program so that when I click on a measurement routine a button becomes available to calibrate all probes and angles for the associated program. Then there would be an option to manage the probe rack if needed; to assign the specific probes in the routine to the probe rack slots if not already assigned.

Search Routine Directory Subfolders within Side Bar

David Courtney 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

I want to be able to navigate within the sidebar area to inspection routines located within subfolders of the specified directory. I understand that I can go into the settings folder and call up a specific folder but it would be nice to be able to navigate the file directory within the side bar area, like Windows Explorer.

Allow configuring of the PC-DMIS version to start instead of relying on "last version run as admin"

anders isaksson 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

In many situations it would be better to explicitly tell INSPECT which version of PC-DMIS to run, instead of relying on the "last version that was run as administrator".

HOW CAN I LOCK FEATURES ON PROVEN PROGRAMS?

thaohuynh_th 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 4

IT HAPPENED TO ONE OF MY PROVEN PROGRAMS THAT ONE AUTO FEATURE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION BY ITSELF SOMEHOW. IT DID BREAK TIPS. WE SHOULD PREVENT IT FROM HAPPEN TO MAKE SURE PROVEN PROGRAMS ARE SAFE TO RUN.

Min Max point number matching

Mike Rose 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 4

If the point numbers in the min/max list matched the actual feature point number then I wouldn't have to rely on the low screen resolution on graphical analysis to find where the min/max locations are.

Point Auto Trigger Cylinder length control.

Lord_Warfield 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Currently, Point Auto Trigger only allows for a radius to be set. This creates a cylinder that has no ends and allows for points to be taken anywhere inside the diameter created...even if its 1000mm away from the target. Often times the point is taken on the wrong side of the part by the operator... Please add a control for the max distance from the surface similar to that used for laser scanner features.

Graphic Simultaneous requirement

Lord_Warfield 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Create 3d Cad features from the features created in the program. Use the upper and lower tolerance to create boundaries then use the measured value to confirm the features are in tolerance visually. Apply datum shift to allow a virtual fit up. Features that don't "fit up" appear red and a list of features is also reported "like collation detection". Works with legacy or exactmeasure...

CLEAR instructions on how to turn the alarm off

Kingsld1 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Notification Center updated by neil kay 5 years ago 6

I've not found how to turn of the alarm when it's in a loop anywhere in the help files unless I've missed it from going mad at the sound; Short of turning the volume levels off, which defeats the purpose.
