Calypso - PCM Confirm
This article focuses on the Calypso PCM command - confirm. There are times when constructing a program that as programmers we need the operator to follow specific instructions or confirm that something is a certain way before executing the program
Example: A confirmation ("confirm") in PCM
We have written a calibration routine program but we need the operator to confirm that MasterBall shaft at the '0' position before the operator executes this calibration program. This will avoid the stylus system from striking the MasterBall base during the calibration. If it is not at the '0' position I want to end the program.
Here is one way this is done.
NOTE: this example uses PCM, a optional module on Calypso.
Write the program as you normally would. When this is complete right click to access the parameter function.
Choose Parameter and this will open the Pre and Post Parameter settings dialog box
In the presetting box and type the above commands. Now there is another method to select the code above and we will cover that in a future article.
When you run the program this box will appear
The Code
VarC is a variable statement. This could be named anything. I used VarC to represent Variable Confirm.
If the answer is Yes or
if VarC equals True then continue on
If the answer is No or
if VarC equals False then
endinspection (close out the inspection run)
This can be used for a variety of situations where confirmation is required. Just change the question is the confirm statement making sure it is between quotes.
If you do not have the PCM module you may want to consider purchasing it. PCM adds a flexibility to Calypso that benefits both the programmer and operator.

Tolerancing Curve Form Segments
Creating different tolerance bands on a Curve Form graph
If your looking to create a graph with a tolerance variation just follow these steps.
The first step is to generate a curve then we will apply the tolerance variations.
Click on the arrow below the Clearance Group pull down menu and begin to move through the list to identify the points where the tolerance bands change. Write these numbers down.
Now open the tolerance fly out from the curve dialog box by clicking on the arrow.
Check the Segment Tolerances
Click on Settings
Click on the Create Tolerance Segments icon
Enter the tolerances associated with these points.
In our example the values will look like this
1 to 299 +/- 0.180
300 to 1059 +/- 0.090
1060 to 1569 +/- 0.180
1570 to 1800 +/- 0.090
To assist you as you define the tolerance bands you can right click on the CAD window and select Show Tolerance Lines.
Create a Curve Form Characteristic by clicking on Form and Location/ Curve Form. Open the Curve Form and select the curve as the Feature.Open the characteristic and click on the Graphic icon. The graphic will appear like this.
