You should place the command for enabling Weight Compensation at the beginning of the measurement routine and the command for disabling it (see "Weight Compensation - Disabled Mode") at the end of the measurement routine. These placements avoid undesired persistence of Weight Compensation among different measurement routines.
To create a WeightComp command, follow these steps:
Open an existing measurement routine. For help, see "Opening Existing Measurement Routines" in the "Using Basic File Options" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
Select Insert | Modules | Weight Compensation to open the WeightComp dialog box.
WeightComp dialog box
If PC-DMIS is currently in Offline
mode, the warning message appears. The message indicates that PC-DMIS
is in Offline mode and that acceptable controller values may be different
than if PC-DMIS were in Online mode.
To continue, click OK.
Select the appropriate WeightComp command mode from the Mode list:
Centered Weight mode - Use this mode for weights that are centrally and symmetrically located at the center of the measuring area.
Simplified mode - Use this mode for weights that are uniformly distributed on the support points.
Advanced mode - Use this mode to enter complete information about the part's placement, support, and weight distribution.
To create this WeightComp command, click OK. The WeightComp command appears in the Edit window. To cancel this WeightComp command, click Cancel. The dialog box closes.
Execute the WeightComp command. For help, see "Executing Measurement Routines" in the "Using Advanced File Options" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
