• +IMPROVE: Update Chinese, German and Dutch translations.

Situation:
Probe collides with the ring and an overload error shows on the screen.

Cause:
Probe position comes out to high and collides with the ring gage.

Solution:
The Z-position value needs to be adjusted, these settings can be found under: "Maintenance Tab -> Meas Positions - Internal -> COSIM 8-36 -> Z-Position"

It is important that there is enough space for the probe and ring at different diameters when using the using the Clickon 8-36.
Witt a larger diameter ring the ring drops in height when placed on the Center Points of the Clickon 8 -36.

In order to ensure that the probe does not touch the edge of the ring, it is inperetive too test this with a RING of 8mm and 20mm diameter and probe 7.0.
Also remove the blue Cover from the master scanner so you can move the probe-arm at a later time behind the clickonholder described in STEP 5.

Determining the new Z-Position value:

Step 1: Make sure the arm postion itself in the middle of the COSIM 8-36 using a probe 7.0. when performing a internal intermediate calibration on a plain gage. Choose the Clickon COSIM 8-36 (Warning: This inetemediate calibration is performed without placing a ring on the Clickon 8-36)

Step 2: If the machine reached the z-position and steers the probe arm out in horizontal axis, you have to abort the measurement by pressing the ESC button.

Step 3: Close/Confirm the error and go to "IO Controller" and select menu option 1 "Move PROBE"

Step 4: Move the probe with the left and right arrows to bring the probe out in the step of the Clickon. (Important: Do not move the probe vertically otherwise you have to start again at step 1) This is done to see if the probe at the current position can be positioned in the ring gage.

Step 5: Slide manually the 20mm plain ring gage on the Clickon 8-36 and move the probe horizontally forward in the ring. ( DO NOT use the Pusher to Lock the ring) If the probe collides with the ring, you must now adjust the position in height. "use Ctrl + Arrow down to move in small steps down."
The probe is now able to move in the ring its important that there is a minimum of 0.2mm space between the upper probe point and the plainring gage. To test this you should move the probe carefully by hande against the inside of the ring and read the displacement of the MT12 value.

Step 6: Remove the 20mm ring from the 8-36 clickon and place the 8mm ring now and see if it has enough space without the ring is touched. Again, there must be at least 0.2 mm in between the probe tip and ring. If the Z-position has enough clearance for both 8 and 20 mm ring gage,
read the new Z-position value from the "Probe Point position --> upper" and enter it into the Z position of the COSIM 8-36 The Z-position value needs to be adjusted, these settings can be found under: "Maintenance Tab -> Meas Positions - Internal -> COSIM 8-36 -> Z-Position"

Step 7: To test whether the probe is now properly positioned in the two rings you can perform a intermediate calibration. 

** Warning: DO NOT Clamp the ring with the pusher but leave it freely hanging on the 8-36mm. If the probe still is not properly positioned in Z-Position then probe will move/push the ring forward without the probetip being damaged.

 If the probe position it self properly in both 8 and 20mm ring gage, you can use the pusher system again to clamp the gage for a real calibration procedure.

Using df command

The df command displays information about total space and available space on a file system.
Here is the example using df command:

CM7 Not enough points in the probe point correction table. Probably used the wrong scan range on the Master Gauge.
Please check the X axis positions on the Master Gauge.

Details: MC_Correction table: Expected nr of point = 244. Safety factor = 80% equals: 195 points. Found in list = 194 points

Solution:

The speeds in standard probe speeds is too high. During the scan of the master gauge it needs a specific number of points to calculate the radius.

Because of the speed it cannot reach those numbers of points. Please set the speeds in menu "Maintenance" --> " Scan Speeds" --> "change following Parameters underneath"

• Master Caliber with standard Probe: --> value 25 (maximum to 30 but start with 25)
• Pitch greater or equal 0.25mm -- > value 22 (do not set this value lower than 21 )

IMPORTANT: When you have changed the values above, reboot the PC and perform a new Probe and Master Calibration. 

Description:

The connection is made by mounting the samba server storage point in linux. The server is then available as a directory as any other directory. You create a folder on the masterscanner that is virtual linked to a folder on your server/desktop.
If you copy the files in the folder on the masterscanner it is actually directly copied in the folder of your server/desktop.

Manually Mount

1. - Make an empty directory (for example on your desktop) that will serve as the mounting point: mkdir <name of empty dir>
2. - Example mkdir Monica
3. - Use the mount command to mount the share:

sudo mount -t cifs //<ip adress of the samba share>/<Share point name> <name of empty dir> -o username=<username>,password=<password>,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,users,exec 0 0

The above lines of code should be typed on one line, The areas with the fishhooks: <> are fields that you have to set yourself without the FISHOOKS.

An example as seen above:

• username network folder: billclinton
• password network folder: sigar
• IP adress of Server that you want to connect with: 192.168.1.111
• Share point name of the network folder: TheWhiteHouse
• Name of empty dir on the masterscanner: Monica

SAMBA V1 ( used when you have KUBUNTU or MINT 17)
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.111/TheWhiteHouse Monica -o username=billclinton,password=sigar,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,users,exec 0 0

 
SAMBA V2.0 (used when you have LINUX MINT 18 and MIN 19)
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.111/TheWhiteHouse/ cifs username=Monica,password=billclinton,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,users,exec,vers=2.0 0 0

Using fstab to Mount shared Folder with Network everytime at Boot Up:

To have the mount being performed by the system at boot/start up of the computer, it is required to have an extra entry in the file named “fstab”. This file is located in Linux in the “/etc” folder. "/etc/fstab"
Open this file (fstab) as root and add the following line of text:

//<ip adress of the samba share>/<Share point name> <name of empty dir on desktop> cifs username=<username>,password=<password>,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,users,exec 0 0

SAMBA V1
//192.168.1.211/msxptestcase/TestcaseShare /home/user/Desktop/NetworkTestcase cifs username=msxptestcase,password=testcase1234,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,users,exec 0 0

 SAMBA V2

//192.168.1.111/TheWhiteHouse/ cifs username=Monica,password=billclinton,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,users,exec,vers=2.0 0 0

Save the file and reboot the computer. Test if you see the files on the share in the <name of empty dir>. (NOTE that at the end are two zeros. These two zeros are needed and are separated from the text with spaces, maybe obvious but better to note then to forget.)

A detailed manual in howto Setup an RS232 communication between the masterscanner and a WIndows Computers

If you make and backup of your files the follwoing files are important.
You can use dolphin to navigate to the directories.

Close all programs, and you just see the desktop!!!

• Open Dolphin by right clicking with the mouse on the desktop and select the "Run Command"
• Type the command "dolphin" and click the button "Run" If correct the dolphin screen appears.

 MASTERSCANNER SETTINGS:

VARIOUS DATABASES:

TEMPLATES:

DATX FILES:

Linux programs may throw SIGSEGV for improper memory handling (see segmentation fault). The operating system may inform the application of the nature of the error using the signal stack, which developers can use to debug their programs or handle errors. The default action for a program upon receiving SIGSEGV is abnormal termination. This action will end the process.

The problem is not critical, you can reboot the computer to restart you program in a clean way

To transfer the PC hardware over in the New PC you need the following cards. ( which are located next to the PC mainboard)

TIP: Before you start, make some pictures, this could help to see how things where attached if you aren't sure anymore.

Open the Computer Cover and you will see these cards. Try to give them the same position as the are now seated in the Backplane board.

• 1x IAC ISA CARD ( this cards is connected by a Parrallel cable with the Electronic box under the Computer)
• 2x HEIDENHAIN counter cards (Master / Slave Card)
• 1x Latch-Cable connecting the Heidenhain master & slave card (backside)

IAC ISA CARD:

Insert the IAC card next to the PC mainboard and reattach the parallel cable again to the IAC card.
The ISA card can sometimes not correctly attached in the backplane slot.

Before you closeup the PC you should just test if the IAC card is responding.

Turn the power on and look at the backside if 2 leds lights go on and off. IF this happens the cards is initialized through its sequence this is good. if not please try to clean the golden contacts of the isa card and reconnect it again in the slot and try again.  

The problem that can occur is that the masterscanner software is starting up and gives an error message: S1: Error with the Reference Servo!

Mostly the IAC-card is not properly connected in the backplane slot or the parallel cable is not properly connected.

Erros and solutions can be found here
http://iac-instruments.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/76/4/s1-error-with-the-reference-servo


Heidenhain CARDS:
For the Heidenhain cards its important that the Master card is located next to the power-supply than next to it will be the slave card.
Heidenhain card that is  labeled with  1 & 2 is the master card. ( 1 is upper connector 2 is the bottom connector)
3 & 4 is the slave card.

After every card is connected into the backplane of the computer you need to connect the 4 cables( The cables are labeled with an number.  Connect them with the according number above.

Cable 1 - MT12     ->   Heidenhain - master card 1 (upper connector)
Cable 2 - MTz Front -> Heidenhain - master card 2 (bottom connector)
Cable 3 - MTx     ->     Heidenhain - slave card 3 (upper connector)
Cable 4 - MTz Back ->  Heidenhain - slave card 4 (bottom connector)


LATCH CABLE:
One side of the latch cable is labeled Master or is marked with an color that this site is the Master connector.
Make sure you attach the latch cable correctly to the backside of the master and slave card, otherwise during initialization the masterscanner freezes up.

The cause of this, is that the software is waiting for an signal of the Slave card.

Now everything should be have its place in the new computer, close the cover reattach the cables and start the computert. If everything works it will start the software without any error message. Try to make an initailisation run.

UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY

An automatic file system check of the root system failed.
A manual fsck must be performed, then the system rebooted.
This fsck can be performed in maintenace mode
Please note that the root file system is currently mounted read-only.
The fsck should only be performed while the root filesystem is mounted read-only[
...]?

SOLUTION:

It usually means your system didn't shut down properly.
Linux the promts to do a file system check on the way back up to clean bad blocks and stray inodes etc.

Usually all you have to do is run 'fsck' at the command prompt beneath and then accept every prompt (i.e. take the default [y] option) until it's finished, then type reboot and you're done.
