  1. In the box, type the comment for the operator. You can use and to increase and decrease the font size respectively.

  2. Click "X" to close the OVC dialog box.

  3. From the Comment dialog box, click the OK button to close the dialog box and insert the comment.

The Edit window command line for this option reads:

COMMENT/OPER,TOG1,FULL SCREEN=TOG2,AUTO-CONTINUE=TOG3,OVC=TOG4,
comment text

TOG1 - This YES/NO field allows you to specify whether or not the comment displays in the inspection report.

TOG2 - This YES/NO field determines whether or not PC-DMIS displays the comment full screen.

TOG3 - This YES/NO field determines whether or not the comment will use a countdown timer and automatically continue execution once the timer reaches zero. When the countdown timer reaches zero, PC-DMIS will continue as if you had clicked the OK button.

TOG4 - This YES/NO field allows you to specify whether or not the OVC comment displays during the execution of a measurement routine.

How it Works

When PC-DMIS executes the measurement routine, a message box displays the appropriate comments just under the Execution dialog box.
