(This item applies to the Comment dialog box, accessible through Insert | Report Command | Comment.)
The Readouts option displays the comment text at the bottom of the Probe Readouts window. You must select the Display prompt history check box on the Probe Readouts Setup dialog box for this to work.
To use the Readouts option:
Place the cursor in the Edit window where you want to insert the comment command.
Select the Insert | Report Command | Comment menu option to open the Comment dialog box.
From the Comment dialog box, select the Readouts option.
In the Comment Text box, type the comment text.
Click the OK button to close the dialog box and insert the comment.
The Edit window command
line for this option reads:
COMMENT/READOUTS,TOG1,
comment text
TOG1 = This YES / NO field allows you to specify whether or the comment shows up in the inspection report.
After you insert a PC-DMIS comment, to type additional PC-DMIS commands in Command mode, you must first press Enter twice after the COMMENT command. This tells PC-DMIS that you no longer want to add text to the comment but are ready to add a new command.
