Warning on what options are available with different version of Pcdmis

davehocum 5 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 3 years ago 5

Just finish testing Inspect 3.2. Back saved a 2018 R1 routine to 2017 R1. Closed Pcdmis and open Inspect 3.2. Installed the 2017 R1 add-on. Open the routine using Inspect 3.2 and executed the routine. First warning that the saved default Report template Text and Cad.rpt serialization error. Report template from later version. Nice, then I selected OK and waited for the Pcdmis startup and wait and wait. Finally execution is at 6% then a pause. Forms will not show and there is no CAD window selection either. Let's try 2017 R2. Same issue. Let's try this using 2018 R1 and the forms work as expected. The CAD selection is available now. There should be a warning on what options are available with different version of Pcdmis.

Add scanner support

Daniel Hansen 7 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by Brodsgaard 3 years ago 15

I suggest to add support for scanner. The simplest way would be that when typing a part number (without the PRG extension) and the enter key, then the part program starts (simple HID support). If  the part program not exists, just a simpel text somewhere shows a error message so it is possible to scan (or enter the keyboard) again. No window to close before trying again.

It should be possible to scan direct after the INSPECT application has started.

Ability to transfer the configurations from one cmm to another without having to configure INSPECT on each cmm individually.

SB1 7 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 3 years ago 7

Unless I overlooked that ability, I haven't found a way yet. We have 10 cmms that currently use STI and transferring one STI menu file to all cmms so the STI menu is the a same on all cmms is very efficient.

Offer a multi-execute capability so you can get it to execute a specified Measurement Routine 'n' times

Ability to queue parts to run

zachr 11 months ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated 11 months ago 4
It would be nice to have the ability to queue a part to run after the current part is done running. We have quite a few production run parts that machinists run on the CMM but they do not want to wait until the current part is finished before they can set theirs up. It would be nice for them to be able to queue their part, enter in all applicable trace-field information, and walk away, knowing that the part will run when the current part(s) are done.

Pre Execution Files Pulled from a Server

jpurvis 1 year ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by Chris Bittle 1 year ago 1

I am wanting to use the Pre-Execution file to display a Ballooned print of the part being run. Locally on 1 PC this works as intended. The issue is if I add the PDF to inspect on 1 PC it won't show up on any other PC with inspect. Basically I'm trying to edit 1 and done.

Our Current process is we have 6 CMMs that all pull programs from a server. This works great with JPEG icons that you see before you press execute. Editing 1 inspect to have this JPEG basically saves the JPEG file next to the PCDMIS program on the server, So every inspect on multiple PCs automatically grab this. I'm not seeing where the PDF is being stored. I'm assuming its just locally.

Mini Routines

Brodsgaard 6 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 3 years ago 2 1 duplicate

Today we are using Mark Set Views to run our program with PC-DMIS

Operator mode, but we might in the future want to use Inspect to run
our programs for operators. but today we have 2-3 icons in mark set views to
run different line of codes in pc dmis, so therefor it could be nice to
have the option to run mini routines from inspect. or just some lines of
the program.
