Hi all :)

I'm new on this forum and I've found very good information.

Right now I'm working developing a procedure to calibrate a Pin Gage Set (.011-1" .001) but I have a big problem, I'm doing the next:

1.004 MATH m[2]=0.0115
1.005 DISP Measure Pin[m2]"
1.006 MATH mem=m[2]
1.007 ACC in 5.0e-5U
1.008 MEMI Micrometer Reading (Pin [m2])
1.009 MEME
1.010 MEMC in 0.00020U

and so on until I reach the 1" pin. the problem is that when a Technician puts a wrong value we can repeat the step but because of the way it adds the .001" from pin to pin when I repeat the last step it doesn't ask me for the last value because it already added the .001 to the last step.

Does anyone knows which memory or Metcal register changes once we press the repeat button so I can make a jump line if this event occurs? or what can I do to rest the .001 only when a value was mistankenly write it. Right now we have to repeat all the procedure because if we don't the calibration report will show the error and will be a limited calibration when it was a human error entering the data.

Thanks in advance I really look forward on helping you if its in myu hands

:thanx:

I suspect there are folks here who have a lot of experience programming MetCal, I don't. One of the more experienced folks will likely answer soon.

Could you post a little more of the procedure please, especially where it is adding the 0.001. Thanks.

Thanks for the information you send me, it was very useful and it's working as we wanted, we're going to use it and final procedure is of 47 lines instead of the 8,000 that we were going to create in the first time.

the LABEL command y very useful to jump between lines as destination and this is the main cause that we couldn't repeat the step without adding the .001" to the present value.

Thanks again and hope to be a little help for someone someday.

:agree::applause:

Did you try printing a cert with it yet?

I was having a problem with that am reconfiguring it. Sorry.

Joe

I already made the full procedure and it worked just fine, I didn't have any problems printing the calibration report. Don't know what kind of problem you are using to print the certificate/report and why is it giving you some problems. Is it any problem with the data you register? or is it until you try to finish the procedure?

Not sure, must have done something wrong. Atleast if worked for you. Do you use Met/Cal for all your calibrations?


When I ran it, it would run straight through, but when you look at the cert it only shows two readings.

Joe

My mistake, we run another program instead of the routine you post but is the looooooooooooong version, I already made the test using the Procedure and Sub procedure program and you are absolutely rigth, it only shows two measurements as is repeating the same step always, guess as you say at least is better than 8,000 lines procedure jeje.

And yes, we do every procedure using Metcal to all our equipment

:agree1:

This will work:

Put this in the main procedure:
1.003 MATH M[2]=0.011
1.004 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.005 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.006 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.007 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.008 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.009 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.010 CALL Sub Pin Gage
1.011 CALL Sub Pin Gage
Repeat until you get to 1".


And the same sub procedure:
1.001 MEMI Measure Pin [M2]" and enter reading.
1.002 ACC in 5.0e-5U
1.003 MATH mem=m[2]
1.004 MEME
1.005 MEMC in 0.00020U
2.001 MATH M[2]=M[2]+0.001
