Combining Results from the Measure-X Measure and Analyze Tabs in a Single QC-CALC Real-Time Database

Using Measure-X v9.00.05 and QC-CALC Real-Time v4.3.20

  1. Create a MeasureFit Project (.mfp) file in Analyze
    1. Start a new Routine in MX
    2. Switch to the Analyze tab
    3. Import Nominal Geometry (.dxf)
    4. Set material side
    5. Add the datums (B & C)
    6. Group the features that make up the outer parameter
    7. Add Profile tolerance
      1. Check and label the Upper and Lower results for output

    8. Confirm/Set the statistics output filename and path
    9. Save the project (.mfp)
  2. Create a Measure-X Routine (.mxi)
    1. Start a new Routine in MX
    2. Switch to the Measure tab
    3. Stage the part
    4. Add a Math step
      1. Set the Expression to 0 and clock Calc
      2. Enter the DBSWITCH command in the Report Text field

      3. Enable output to Statistics

    5. Add a User Input step

      1. Enter the FACTOR command in the Report Text field
      2. Enter the prompt in the User Prompt field
      3. Enable output to Statistics
    6. Measure all steps for output (something other than the FACTOR must be sent)
      1. Enable output to Statistics
    7. Measure all steps for data point collection
    8. Enable the "Keep same file name each time" option in the Statistics tab in the Run Overrides

    9. Save the Routine (.mxi)
    10. Run the Routine to construct the QC-CALC database with the first data source
  3. Add the Analyze step
    1. Select Construct | Analysis

    2. Import Nominal Geometry (.mfp)
    3. Quick Align CAD
    4. Calculate Results
    5. Best Fit
    6. Select File | Report

      1. Uncheck Generate on the General tab

      2. Add the DBSWITCH command to the Headers tab

      3. Uncheck Generate on the Picture tab

      4. Uncheck Include in report(s) on the User Input Values tab

      5. Check Generate on the Statistics tab

        1. Ensure the @R term is different (see image)
      6. Click OK
    7. Stop the recording of the Macro

    8. Save the MX Routine (.mxi)
