61212-2810502


Converting measuring results for qs-STAT

The conversion program uses the file structures defined in the QDASCONV.CON configuration file . NOTE hss

In a Q-DAS file, only the results for which the selection point of the characteristic Characteristic to Statistic is set to “On” or “Default” in the Measurement Plan Editor Characteristics are stored. The number of files created at the end depends on the settings in the Results to file window. There you can define the number and type of files transferred to the Q-DAS interface under Q-DAS (see “Exporting measuring results into files” in the Basics instructions).

Q-DAS description file The name of the description file consists of the first 8 characters of the measurement plan and the *.DFD extension. The description file contains data particular to the part and characteristics that describes the workpiece and the separate features. The contents of this data can be taken from the printout header, the printout or the configuration file. Every time QDASCONV.EXE is called, a check is run to ascertain whether or not the description file already exists. If it does not exist, it is created and thereafter remains valid for all subsequent measurements. In the data acquisition module of the qs-STAT statistics program, you can perform changes, such as adding features or entering information that was not known at the time of the measurement. If you give the CALYPSO computer a modified description file, the QDASCONV.EXE conversion program recognizes the changes (e.g. new features) and takes them into account for the next conversion. Key structure

The description data in the DFD file starts with a 4-character key that indicates the data type in the file.

Q-DAS values file The name of the values file consists of the first 8 characters of the measurement plan and the *.DFX extension. The actual measurements, the identification for the validity of the dimensions and the date saved are saved in the values file. During the first run, all characteristics should be sent to qs-STAT, so that a complete data model can be created in qs-STAT. If only certain selected elements are sent to qs-STAT later, the data model is updated; all elements which are not measured stay at counter status 1. NOTE hss

If only part of the measurement plan is sent to qs-STAT during the first run, but all characteristics are then sent as a later run, the data model created earlier is not updated. Additional data, such as batch number, operator, and machine number can be added to any run in additional data records as necessary. The sequence of the characteristics in a file is determined by the measurement sequence. If characteristics are missing due to focusing of the CNC run, the measurement value is set to zero and the dimension is labeled as invalid.

QDASCONV.CON configuration file The QDASCONV.CON conversion file controls the conversion of the CALYPSO measuring results into the Q-DAS format. QDASCONV.EXE needs the data from this file for the conversion. QDASCONV.CON must be located in the ...\calypso\home\om directory. You can modify QDASCONV.CON to influence the conversion (see ➤“Controlling the conversion with QDASCONV.CON” on page 1-8).

How to save CALYPSO measuring results in Q-DAS format To save the CALYPSO measuring results in Q-DAS format:

1 Make sure that the QS-STAT interface option is installed. The QDASCONV.EXE program is located in the ...\calypso\opt\om\bin\winnt directory.

61212-2810502



2 Save the results as described in “Exporting measuring results into files” in the basic instructions. Set the QDAS option to On (Save without query) or Select at CNC Start (Save with query). NOTE hss

In a Q-DAS file, only the results for which the selection point of the characteristic Characteristic to Statistic is set to “On” or “Default” in the Measurement Plan Editor Characteristics are stored. After execution of a CNC run, the measuring results will be saved as the description file ( *.dfd ) and the values file (*.dfx ) under ...\calypso\home\om\workarea\qdas in a directory under the name of the corresponding measurement plan.

NOTE hss

You have the possibility to save the measuring results in several individual files.

Dividing the Q-DAS evaluation according to attributes You can transfer the results of the CNC run as a complete file or separate them into the existing characteristics groups – either into the characteristics groups of the highest hierarchy level or the lowest hierarchy level. If you want to divide the Q-AS evaluation into other undefined criteria, you must use the characteristic attributes. For this purpose, you must predefine an attribute according to which the separation is to take place and CALYPSO transfers files to the Q-DAS interface in which characteristics having the same value as the corresponding attribute are summarized. NOTE hss

By using the “#all” identification, you can show certain characteristics in all groups.

Setting up split with attribute To activate the separation of characteristics into an attribute in CALYPSO, this attribute must be defined in the INI file for user-defined characteristic attributes. The INI file for user-defined characteristic attributes has the name userattributes.ini and is saved under Calypso\opt\om\config .

61212-2810502

QS-STAT interface

Example of the corresponding sections of the INI file: REM

userattributes.ini

example

[Fieldnames] u_k0053operation ... ... [u_k0053operation] name=K0053 Operation selectiveList=true selectiveListValues=u_k0053operation_valueList editable=false ... [u_k0053operation_valueList] 10=OP10 20=OP20 30=OP30 40=OP40 #all=TO_ALL_OPs

Preparing the split with attribute After you have set up the corresponding attribute, prepare the separation by selecting Resources → Results to File, activating the output to file in the Result To File window under QDAS and selecting the Split acc. to… . Then you must assign the attribute value of the desired group to each characteristic to be included in the evaluation. The quickest way to do this is to use the Measurement Plan Editor Characteristics . You must set the “TO_ALL_OPs” value for characteristics to be included in all evaluation groups (when using the above INI file).

Result Depending on the defined attribute, the characteristics are written in several table files and transferred separately to Q-DAS. Q-DAS treats the table files as different CNC runs. For reasons of identification, the folder names containing the dfd and dfx files are assigned the attribute contents (without blanks and inadmissible characters) in addition to the part number. Characteristics without value assignment are grouped in the *_NOGROUP folder. Example: The measurement plan is named Flange Hugo, 38 is the part number. The directories are named (in the above example):

– FlangeHugo_38_10 – FlangeHugo_38_20 – FlangeHugo_38_30 – FlangeHugo_38_40

These values can change with each measuring run. It is therefore useful to use the columns from the printout. The keys in this section affect only the first measuring run. They should be evaluated only if they are valid for all measurements, for example if all workpieces come from a certain machine. To save all corresponding data with the measuring run, these keys can also be listed in the Q-DAS information section of the measurement protocol. Section F

The section F contains parameters which may differ for individual characteristics and for each CNC run. For details, please refer to the examples of the QDASCONV.CON file.
