Yes you can have your results show up in several formats. I've accidentally gotten an old school text format
. I'd experiment in the Measurement Tab's Multiple Printout area for sure. As well as the Resources to file section.
Since we use PiWeb I have some different options available so I may not be able to see the same things you do. PiWeb automates all the SPC, CPK, et cetera data collection, storage, and reports.
Do you have Zeiss care right now where you could call them? They'll find out your need and then have someone that knows the area call you back. Fee free to send me a PM and we can get together on the phone sometime to go over some stuff, probably way easier that way.
The code isn't too bad. You basically set a global thing. And then every program you write you have to point to that global selection. Under Resources, Name for output files, "...for all Measurement Plans" you choose the output file type from the drop down, check mark "Name of output file variable" and "Applies for all users" and then enter the code syntax (similar to the way formulas are handled in Result Elements.) Once you do that then every time you write a program you go to Name for output files, "... for this Measurement Plan" and then you just choose your file type from the drop down, check mark the boxes, and then it autofills your code for you (from the global setting.)
I don't think elsmar hosts pictures or I'd upload some, so a phone call might do better. It's super handy to have set up. When I check QA docs for shipping I can open a server folder and make sure CMM checks were done for the job without leaving my desk.
Here's a sample of the code that will automatically find, or create if not already there, a folder named by the job number, part number, and drawing number. Then inside that it will save the actual results by file name with part number, drawing number, job number, and incremental part number. You have to be sure your file type drop down is the same as what you choose when you run the program otherwise it won't save because it doesn't match:
Edit: Something in the way this forum works is messing up the actual code syntax. It won't let me put the \ where it needs to be in one area. I put it there and save but it omits it. So this syntax is actually incorrect. I could email it tho.
"Y:\CMM Reports"+getRecordHead("order")+" "+getRecordHead("planid")+""+getRecordHead("planid")+" "+getRecordHead("order")+" "+getRecordHead("partnbinc")+".pdf"
I may have some typos in there that but that's the idea.
