How to continue/stop a program based on user response

[quality]

I have a program setup that uses a fixture reference frame. I want to be able to ask the operator if the fixture alignment has been established before the program runs. If the operator has already ran the program that establishes the fixture reference frame, he would answer yes to the question and the program would continue. If the operator has not established the fixture reference frame, he would answer no and the program would stop. I am as green as green can get when it comes to VB. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You could create a simple Yes No prompt - just copy the VB Script from the <code> sections below and paste into your program as shown below:

skip_align.jpg

Code: Select all

MyAlign = MsgBox("Is manual alignment required?", 4)
If MyAlign = 6 Then

Program to be skipped if user presses [No]

Code: Select all

End If

Replace the 3-2-1 Alignment in this example with ANY CMM-Manager Program Operation(s) you would like to skip. You could get more elaborate yet and include an External Command inside the If Statement that automatically launches the CMM-Manager Alignment program.

Thank you nfrost. I will keep this in mind as we figured out another way. We did the same with a yes/no prompt but if the answer was yes, the the program would continue to run.

answer = MsgBox("Has Alignment been performed?", 4)
If answer = 6 Then

...rest of program

End If

You could also use a Select Case statement for more flexibility than just a Boolean response. See this post - http://www.cmmmanager.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=62
