Setup Screen Settings
The following settings are available on the Settings screen:
Name | Description | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
Unit | This setting displays inch and mm for information only. This is configured in the Config Tool settings option. | ||
Language | You can use this setting to select the display language. | ||
Feed Rates | You can use this setting to display or set the following speeds:
| ||
Probing Distance | Sets distances for probing and searching:
| ||
Tolerance | This setting defines the default +/- tolerances for the report. | ||
Snap Decimal Accuracy | This setting sets the number of decimal places on the report and the rounding of nominal values during the teach-in operation.
TipSnap Values specify how many digits to round a value to, and the nearest multiple of a value. For example, suppose Snap Value = 0.03 This specifies to round to two decimal places and to use 3 as the rounding multiplier. Therefore, if the measured value is 0.068, NC Gage would first round to two decimal places for an initial value of 0.07. NC Gage then converts this value to 0.06 because 6 is the closest value that is a multiple of 3. | ||
Report Save Option | This setting specifies the number of measuring reports to save. | Saved Path | This setting specifies the directory to save measurement reports in. |
Auto Save | When you select this option, NC Gage automatically saves the reports when you execute a gaging program. | ||
Overwrite /Timestamp | This setting determines if NC Gage overwrites saved reports, or if it saves reports with a timestamp when you execute a gaging program. NoteYou must select the Auto Save option for reports to be saved with a date and timestamp. | ||
Statistic Save Option | This setting specifies how NC Gage saves statistics data. | Saved Path | This setting specifies the directory that NC Gage saves measurement reports. |
Auto Save | When you select this option, NC Gage automatically saves statistic data when a gaging program is executed. | ||
Overwrite/ Timestamp | This setting determines if NC Gage overwrites saved reports, or if it saves reports with a timestamp when you execute a gaging program. NoteYou must select the Auto Save option for reports to be saved with a date and timestamp. | ||
XML / CSV | This option sets the output format to XML or CSV. | ||
Additional Notes
Timestamp Filename Format |
|---|
XML option selected: D-<yyyy><MM><dd><hh><mm><ss>.xml CSV option selected: D-<yyyy><MM><dd><hh><mm><ss>.csv where: <yyyy> - Four-digit year, based on your computer system's date <MM> - Two-digit month, based on your computer system's date <dd> - Two-digit day, based on your computer system's date <hh> - Two digits of the hour (24-hour time) that the statistics are saved, based on your computer system's time <mm> - Two digits of the minute that the statistics are saved, based on your computer system's time <ss> - Two digits of the second that the statistics are saved, based on your computer system's time Note that the 24-hour time stamp notation for the file name indicates the time at which the statistics were saved (not the time at which the measurement routine executed). Therefore, if you continuously save the same set of statistics, each set will have a different file name. |
