(This item pertains to the check boxes on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box. You can open it through the F5 key or through the Edit | Preferences | Setup menu option.)
Select Insert | Parameter Change | Probe | Ignore Motion Errors to access the Ignore Motion Errors option.
This option does not apply to all machine types. Some machines can utilize this option, while on others it will have no effect. For those machine types where it does have an effect, the exact nature of the effect may also depend on the machine type.
Selecting the Ignore Motion Errors check box tells PC-DMIS to try to avoid stopping from a motion error during movement when the ignore request is active. If you select this check box and click OK, PC-DMIS inserts an IGNOREMOTIONERRORS/ON command into the Edit window.
When PC-DMIS executes the IGNOREMOTIONERRORS/ON command, the command enables a state where PC-DMIS will try to avoid stopping due to motion errors, if possible, when it enters DCC motion. The exact manner of implementation may vary by machine type.
On traditional CMMs with contact probes, the most common implementation is through disabling the probe. However, if PC-DMIS disables the probe during a move, normally it does need to re-enable the probe to take a measurement. This may result in a repeating sequence where PC-DMIS disables the probe for transitional moves between measurements but then re-enables the probe when it actually takes the measurement.
You can use this command to prevent problems from spurious vibration or acceleration-induced triggering, or both.
