Any OpenDMIS users here?

No probe indexing (angle changes) when program is running? Really???

Have seen the software lockup after indexing, regardless of manual or automatic operation. However, the problem was with the PH10M, not the software. During an index cycle, the software waits for a successful clamp signal from the PH10M. If that signal is not received within a specific time frame, the software faults (in this case, locks up). Granted this error could/should be handled differently. Swapped out the PH10M with a known good unit, problem fixed! The questionable PH10M worked fine on the other machine, because WTutor (software on other CMM) will go through an unclamp-reclamp cycle 3 times before it times/alarms out.

Never stop ranting!!! Remember, it's the sqeaky wheel that gets the grease!! (just make sure it's not Vaselne!)

Hi there,
I am new to open DMIS & am currently learning how to use higher level language, i have currently come across the following problem and wondering if there is an easy solution.

I would like to write a variable to an external text file which is saved as a unique serial no and then read the variable back at a later stage.

cant find a simple solution to this, any ideas?

Thanks

Looks like this place is pretty empty... I've been trying to find an opendmis forum that is active. Anyone have suggestions?

I have a year of experience with opendmis on manual and automatic machines, and have received wenzel's advanced training. I can probably help with some basic issues for beginners and i would be willing to share the tips and tricks i learned from xspect. I know how to program offline with or without a CAD model.

so, if you're out there, please reply.

THANKS!

Jamriggsy, did you find the solution for your request?
I have done this part of DMIS code and I could give you the information.

doc michael-

i'd liket o see that code. i've been trying to figure out how to save excel output in a way that saves the date time and operator for each session rather than appending just the dimensions to one big file.

thanks!

Hope this small samples helps to understand

I recently started using OpenDMIS 2.64 on a manual Hansford, and I've hit a snag. Maybe I'm overlooking something ... hopefully someone can help. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to construct a line between the centerpoints of 2 circles. I can drag circles in the feature pane to 'Points' and produce the midpoints, but highlighting 2 points and dragging them to 'Line' it does nothing. I can see the plus sign appear under my cursor as though it would be able to do this, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

[Doc Michael]

You have to D&D the 2 circle features from the database window into
"construction" menue item "bestfit"
Remember all what you can't find to construct, try it under "bestfit"

Aha! Thanks so much Doc. This was totally escaping me. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

I think jaja...

[miguelon]

hello you can help me?
my name is miguel you know take the perpendicularity in opendmis 2.8?
thanks
