Surface Inspection DEPRINT Error on Haas NGC

[42droid42]

I'm getting an error on the machine when trying to run a surface inspection. Any suggestions are helpful.

I've downloaded the surface inspection post processor the HAAS.
Created the probing cycle in Fusion and posted.
Loaded the file in the NGC after setting up setting 262 and 261 in the controller. I get an error when the controller

I've followed the instructions on the FUSION video: fusion 360 inspect surface

Errors at N80:

N80 DPRNT[RESULTSFILE*op_one_gen2_probing__RESULTS]

The controller says ERROR 536 "command found on DEPRINT line"
I tried putting DEPRINT[START] first just to see what would happen and got the same error.

Attached is the full code up until the error:

Hi @42droid42,

Thanks for giving inspect surface a go and watching my video. I think what is causing this is the underscores. I've had a few reports of this recently so think its one or 2 software versions don't like them. 

could you hand remove the underscores from the NC code try this, If it works then I will send you over a post that does this automatically.

@Richard.stubley  Like this?
DPRNT[RESULTSFILE*op_one_gen2_probing__RESULTS]
To this

DPRNT[RESULTSFILE*op one gen2 probing  RESULTS]?

I'll give it a shot.

Hi @42droid42 ,

You can either take the underscores out all together replace them with an * which then converts to a space when the results file is created.

DPRNT[RESULTSFILE*oponegen2probing RESULTS]

Or

DPRNT[RESULTSFILE*op*one*gen2*probing*RESULTS]

@Richard.stubley Ah, ok.
Awesome, got past the errors. The program runs and deprints a file, but it has 0kb and errors when imported into fusion.
I checked for the Start, G800 and G801 as the error message suggested. They seem to be there, but it looks like the file is empty.

@42droid42 I've sometimes had issues copying the file onto USB before. I would delete the file from the controller, re run and see the file that gets created. Check it on the machine. Copy it, then check again on the pc.

@Richard.stubley 
Works now. It prints properly when the program is loaded on the controller and the output is on the thumb drive.

Thanks for the help.

[Richard.stubley]

@42droid42 perfect, I will get you the post that does the underscores automatically.

@Richard.stubley Ran into another thing during testing of a few parts

I've searched around a little bit and haven't found anything about renaming each .out file.

I can probably write my own code to have it do this, but is there any settings so it doesn't dump reports into one file?
The current thing I'm trying to do is serialize a part and connect an inspection report to it. For example part SN1002 is connected with 1002.OUT, part SN1003 is connected to 1003.OUT.

Hi @42droid42,

Unfortunately I don't know of any way to do this, I know how to on Heidenhain and Siemens. But on Fanuc based controllers I've never seen a way of how to do it. Also on the HAAS I believe you can not separate the files out. 

Of course this doesn't mean there is not a potential solution. You could store the counting serial number in a macro variable and then DPRNT this in the header, unfortunately Fusion wont be able to rename the measure this but at least you will have a record of what S/N is associated to that part.

Let me know if you want some help with getting this to work on the post and on the machine.

Oh and I haven't forgot the post with the underscores I'm just trying to get it to work properly so if there are underscores put in Fusion then it replaces them with a *.
