LoadProbeTracking The goal of the solution is to save the probe currently loaded in the CMM to a file. This is independent of the cursor position in the measurement routine. The program should be started before PC-DMIS (e.g., via the ShellCommand file in the Starter application). It terminates as soon as PC-DMIS is closed or the PCDLRN task disappears. LOADPROBE commands executed OFFlINE on the CMM computer are not taken into account. After the first start, a file (OutputFolder.ini) is created in the application directory where the target directory can be defined. The application form displays the currently detected probe. The color-coded status is interpreted as follows: Red: No connection to PC-DMIS Green: Connection to PC-DMIS is established Blue: A LOADPROBE was executed and the file is being updated (only visible for a very short time) Developed by Frank Herr (Hexagon Metrology Services GmbH) The software is offered as freeware and is not subject to any warranty or guarantee.

Version Changes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2025.1.1.0 until 2025.1.5.0 - Initial Releases -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2025.1.6.0 - Status color changed from Red: No connection to PC-DMIS Yellow: Connection to PC-DMIS is established Green: A LOADPROBE was executed and the file is being updated (only visible for a very short time) to Red: No connection to PC-DMIS Green: Connection to PC-DMIS is established Blue: A LOADPROBE was executed and the file is being updated (only visible for a very short time) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2025.1.6.1 - The blue color is now used as back color of the label where the probe name is displayed. It will be active for 5 secs. - The probe name will be changed after the following command (after LOADPROBE) in the measurment routine was executed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2025.1.6.2 - Internal code cleaning -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2025.1.6.3 - Changed the text colour of the label where the probe name is displayed to white during the back colour is set to blue. - If only a LOADPROBE command was executed (without any following command), the last loaded probe is now also saved. - Added support for the SelectProbeFileDialog. If the dialog will be opened, the back colour will be changed to light blue. After the dialog will be closed, the back colour will be changed to blue and the selected probe will be read from the LastProbeFile setting from PC-DMIS. The support of the dialog is included at startup of PC-DMIS as well as during an excution starts after a cancelation of an execution.
