1 Creating or Adapting a Template

To create a new or to adapt an existing template, you need the
“ProtocolDesigner”. In this description, we do not go further into the complex
"ProtocolDesigner" program. Instructions for the whole functions are at your
disposal on our homepage, in German language under "protocoldesigner_g.pdf",
respectively in English language under "protocoldesigner_g.pdf". In the existing
instructions, we describe the special use of the program in GEOPAK and
CAT1000S.
The complete online help of the ProtocolDesigner is installed on your

computer depending on the operation system e.g. under "WINNT /
system32", this means under "CMBTL800.HLP" in German and under
"CMBTL800.HLP" in English.
The procedure for creating a protocol is the same for both GEOPAK and
CAT1000S. The only difference is that the GEOPAK as well as CAT1000S have
their own variables and fields that cannot be printed by the respective other
program. In these instructions, we separately indicate if certain variables or fields
will not be supported by a program.
19.09.2005 1-5
Existing Variables and their Description
2 Existing Variables and their Description

Generally, we differentiate between
"Values (Special Characters) for the Protocol Head"

The values for the protocol head are statistical values. I.e. these
values are already established before the printing of the protocol
and will not be changed during printing.
"Values (Special Characters) for the List".

The special characters for the list values will be changed during the
printing for a data line.
In the “List of Variables“ window, you will find the special characters for the
statistical values in the Variables folder. You will find the special characters for
the list values in the Fields folder.
2.1 List of Variables: Explanation

2.1.1 “General“ Folder
In this folder, you will find general data such as user name or program name.
Each variable consists of a name and a content.
Ö If you insert e.g. the "..UserName.Name" variable in your layout, you

will get the “User Name” in the printout.
Ö If you insert the "..UserName.Contents" variable in your layout, you

will get e.g. “Mr. X” in the printout.
The use of these variables is problem-free because these variables are available
in all programs. I.e., these variables are available in GEOPAK as well as in
CAT1000S.
2.1.2 Head Data

In this folder, you will find all the head data you defined before (see below). Each
head data input will be represented by a name, an abbreviation and the contents.
When defining the head data, you will have to enter the following values in the
“New Entry” dialogue.
Name Headdata Input
Abbreviation Headlnp
ID Headlnp
2-6 19.09.2005
In the “List of Variables”, you will find the head data input with the name you
entered in the “ID” input (e.g. Headlnp).
By default, you will be proposed what you entered under “Abbreviation”. If you
enter now “Input” in the head data input,
you will get the variables for the following contents:
Variable Contents of variables
Headdata.HeadInp.Name Headdata Input
Headdata.HeadInp.Abbreviation HeadInp
Headdata.HeadInp.Contents Input
A particularity at head data is that you can insert the head data once via the ID
and on the other hand via the field no. in the layout. If you insert head data via
the field no., dependence will only be relative to the number of the defined head
data. So it is possible to create quite simple layouts, which can be printed on
almost every PC.
Since the head data are flexible, you may have problems when deleting the
defined head data because these are still defined in the layouts. You may also
have problems when passing on layouts.
You can avoid this default
if you also pass on the head data definition file (Headdata.INI)

together with the layout.
Or use instead of the head data a dialogue for layout (see also
"Variables for the layout").
19.09.2005 2-7
2.1.3 Sublot
For the sublot, the same is valid as for the head data but the difference is that it is
possible to only enter the sublot via a field no. in the layout.
The sublot is not available in the CAT1000S program.
2.1.4 Variables for the Layout

Similarly to the layouts, you can define a “Dialogue for the Layout” for the layouts
of the flexible protocol. In the new layout, you can either
assign a dialogue of an other layout or of an other template, or
create a new dialogue.
Use the ProtocolDesigner to assign a dialogue to a template. Under the menu

item "Project" you will find the commands "Assign dialogue", "Show dialogue"
and "Delete dialogue". Use the command "Assign dialogue" to link the current
template with a dialogue. After assigning a dialogue, find the new variables in the
folder "Variables".
Use the command "Show dialogue" to show the dialogue you have just assigned
in the ProtocolDesigner. The values you enter in the dialogue are taken on
immediately so that you can immediately check whether the text boxes are big
enough for your inputs.
The command "Delete assignment" only deletes the assignment of a dialogue.
However, you will have to delete the variables of the assigned dialogue from the
template yourself.
For each dialogue value, you will always get two variables.
Under “Name” in the variables, you will find the designation that has
also been displayed for the corresponding input element in the
dialogue.
Under “Contents” in the variables, you will find the contents that you
have entered in the dialogue.
2-8 19.09.2005
2.1.5 Views (Graphics): General

In GEOPAK, you will find in the “View” folder the graphics such as flatness,
circularity etc. These view variables are only available for GEOPAK (only from
COSMOS version 2.2 ).
CAT1000S disposes of its own view variables.
19.09.2005 2-9
2.1.6 Views: Contents and Conditions

Each graphic such as "Straightness" consists out of a graphic and
three comments (Comment 1-3).
Each graphic variable includes a name and a special character in
the "Contents" variable for the graphic itself. It is necessary to give
this information if you want to define a view in GEOPAK.
In GEOPAK, you have 9 views at your disposal.
When you define a view, you always have to indicate the number of
the view so that the graphic is clearly assigned to the layout.
All further variables depend on the selected graphic. These
variables dispose of a name and content, too.
2-10 19.09.2005
Layout of the Mitutoyo Standard Report
3 Layout of the Mitutoyo Standard Report

3.1 Principle
If you open a new layout in the "ProtocolDesigner", you will always get a layout
with three layers. These are in detail
one layer for the basis page,
one first side and
the following pages.
All you insert in the basis layer, will be printed on all pages. The basis layer is
used for e.g. the page numbers. Many protocols consist of a first side and the
following sides. These vary by a different design. On the first side, the protocol
head is, for the most part, more extensive. On the following pages, there are
mostly stored additionally measurement data.
Proceed as follows
The individual layers can be enabled and disabled via the layer
window.
If you insert via drag&drop a variable from a list of variables in your

layout, this will always be inserted in the basis layer.
This may not happen if you first select the frame for the variable and
then insert per drag&drop the variable you want (this problem shall
become resolved in the next versions).
For this example, we use the variables and fields of GEOPAK, whereby the
method of working for both GEOPAK and CAT1000S are basically the same.
19.09.2005 3-11
3.2 The Layout in General

Here, we use as layout the Mitutoyo standard report of the layout print function.
On the first page, you will find a picture, some head and dialogue data as well as
a table with measurement values. On the following pages, there are only a few
head data and the table with the measurement values.
3.3 Creating the Layout

First, open a new layout. When opening a new layout, a wizard is started which
helps you creating a new layout. In this example, we do without the help of the
wizard because otherwise the sequence of the single steps, usually executed by
the wizard, will not be visible.
3-12 19.09.2005
3.3.1 The Basis Page

The number of the page shall appear on all pages of the protocol. For this,
disable in the layer window the “First Page” and the “Following Pages” so that
only the “Basis” is included in the selection.
After that, insert a text frame where the number of the page must be placed. For
this, select from the toolbar the “Text/Variable Contents” button, click on “Aa”,
and create a frame by pressing the left mouse button.
If you have inserted the text frame, double-click on the text field. The „“Text
Properties“ dialogue is opened where you can set all concerning the text field. In
the helps to the ProtocolDesigner you see the details of what can be set (see
chapter 5.3 „InsertText Object“ in the ProtocolDesigner description).
19.09.2005 3-13
In order to realize your entries in the “Text Properties” dialogue, you first have to
double-click on the selected line. Now, the dialogue for the settings of the line in
the text frame is opened.
Here, you enter the following text (see also picture above):
"- Page "+Atrim$(str$(Page(),20))+" -"
Hint
What you see in inverted commas is a text (blue). The Page() variable
contains the number of the page. With the str$() function, out the number
of the page, a text is created. With the Atrim$() function, all zero positions
will be removed from the text. With a positive sign, the formatted number
of the page will then be linked to a text.
Ö Click on “Ok“.
Both dialogues will be closed.
The text frame on the basis page must be positioned in a way that
the number of the page will be in the corner top right according to
the Mitutoyo standard sample:
The result looks like the picture below.
3-14 19.09.2005
3.3.2 The First Page

First you disable the
basis layer and …
enable the layer for the first page.
Then, you certainly want to insert the protocol head with the picture.
Ö To insert a picture, first you have to select the “Picture” button in the
toolbar and …
Ö create a frame (see picture below).
Proceed as follows
Ö If you have created a picture frame, leave the frame selected.
In the window for characteristics you can perform all the settings for
the drawing.
In the user’s manual of the ProtocolDesigner, you will find details for the settings
(see chapter 5.7 „Insert Graphic Object“ in ProtocolDesigner description).
19.09.2005 3-15
Generally, you have three possibilities to load a picture in the layout. The first one
is the simplest and probably the most commonly used.
You select a picture, which is stored on the harddisk.
If you want to load a picture in the layout via a formula, follow the
steps of the user’s manual for the ProtocolDesigner. But, you will
also find in this description an example how you can use the formula
function.
Under the variables, you will find the views that have been defined
in the program. For GEOPAK and CAT1000S, these are the views
from the variables.
Hints
The “Keep Proportions“ setting should always be enabled because
otherwise the loaded picture will be distorted in the layout.
Since, in this example, we only need a logo for the layout, we select a
bitmap stored on the harddisk. On principle, you should pay attention that
if you use a picture out of a file, this exists in the "..COSMOS\Layout"
directory. So you make sure that the used pictures reside in the same
directory as the layouts.
Ö Use the button highlighted above to select the picture (picture

below).
3-16 19.09.2005
Ö Select “Keep Proportions“, and …

Ö confirm with “OK“.
Ö After that, you position the picture.
For the protocol head, you insert the necessary head data in the protocol. The
procedure is also valid for the other variables.
First, you build two text frames that you class among themselves. For the
positioning, you have different tools (besides the arrow in the picture below) at
disposal (see chapter 5.16 "Arrange" in ProtocolDesigner description).
19.09.2005 3-17
If the text frames are positioned,
Ö drag per drag&drop the name in the upper text frame and …
Ö the contents in the lower text frame.
Also apply this method for other head data.
3.4 The Table

In the table, which is the principal item of the protocol, on principle, you work with
fields. In our example, we use the fields for GEOPAK.
First, you select the corresponding button and drag the frame for the
table (picture below).
You should build the frame in a way that, later on, it will be possible
to fit the table in the frame and it is not necessary to rework.
3-18 19.09.2005
3.4.1 Insert Fields

In the table we create now, the following values shall be printed:
To reconstruct this table, you have to insert the following fields.

Line No.
Element No.
Element Name
Nominal Value
Upper Tolerance
Lower Tolerance
Actual Value
Deviation
Out of Tolerance
3.4.2 Table Settings

First, we create the table in this example so that a tolerance comparison with only
one data line will be displayed.
By double-clicking on the table, a dialogue is opened for the table settings.
In the dialogue, several “Pop Up Menus” are proposed. But, we will only work
with the headline and the data line. For information about the other index cards,
see the user’s manual for the ProtocolDesigner (chapter 5.9 „Insert Table
Object“).
On principle, you dispose of several lines for the headline and the data line. To
begin, we only will use one line for the header of the table.
19.09.2005 3-19
3.4.3 Headline
By double-clicking on the selected line, the dialogue is opened to edit the data
line.
Here, you enter the text for a column of the table.
"L.No"
Via OK, you quit the dialogue.
The first column of the headline in the table is finished.
To define the other columns, double-click on each empty line (---) in

the “List of Lines”.
3-20 19.09.2005
3.4.4 Data Line (3 Possibilities)

For the data, you have to click on the “Data Line“ index card.
1. List of Lines
Ö Double-click again on the empty line of the list of lines.
Ö In the dialogue in which the lines are defined you have to insert a
measurement value field. For this, you can drag per drag&drop the
field from the "Variables and Functions" list in the edit field.
2. Keyboard Input
But you also can enter the fields via the keyboard.
If you enter only one letter, a list with proposal fields is opened.
The more you enter in this list, the more it will be delimited.
If you have entered e.g. “Tol.”, only the tolerance comparisons will
be represented in the list.
3. List of Variables
As a third possibility, you can directly insert the data per drag&drop from the list
of variables (for this, see the user’s manual for the ProtocolDesigner, chapter
1.1.9 „Plane Window“).
19.09.2005 3-21
3.4.5 Finished Table

If you have defined all variables for the table, the table should appear as follows:
A printout of this table would look like follows:
3.4.6 Text Output

What is still missing is the text output. For this, you have to define a new line in
which the text will be output. You can do that via a list (see picture below).
Ö Click on an empty line in the list and …
Ö confirm with “Ok” in the following dialogue.
Ö Subsequently, you can change the name in the text field.
3-22 19.09.2005
3.4.7 Text Line or Line with Tolerance Comparison

You certainly want to indicate when the text line and when a line with a tolerance
comparison must be printed. For this, you can use an IF statement for a variable
called InfType. In case of, for example, a tolerance comparison, this variable
returns "Tol" or in case of a text "Txt".
For these conditions, it is not necessary to enter an If-condition for
all columns of the table.
In the dialogue for the table settings, you will rather find an
“Appearance Conditions” button.
A dialogue is hidden under this term, in which you may define an If-
condition for the whole table line.
You enter the following formula in the input field.

if(InfType="Txt",.T.,.F.)
Explanation
Here, we have to do with a simple If-condition. The InfType variable
returns "Txt" or "Tol" depending on whether a text or a tolerance
comparison exists. In case that InfType is equal to "Txt", the line must be
printed. Then, the return value of the condition must be "T." . The "T."
stands for True and "F." for False.
For the line of the tolerance comparison, you still have to enter the following If-
condition in the Appearance Conditions:
if(InfType="Tol",.T.,.F.)
Hint
When entering the text line, you should care that the width for the text line
will be sufficient for writing the text.
19.09.2005 3-23
3.4.8 Table Printout

The table printout would look like follows:
3.4.9 Coloured Tolerance Comparisons

For better recognition of tolerance comparisons, which are out of tolerance or
control limits, they should be displayed through different colours. For this, you
have three variables, which case-depending return the text
"OK","OOC" or "OOC"
(see chart below).
Return Value
TolStatus TolUpperStatus TolLowerStatus
Out of Tolerance Limits OOT OOT OK

Out of Control Limits OOC OOC OK
OK OK OK
Out of Control Limits OOC OK OOC

Out of Tolerance Limits OOT OK OOT
For a coloured output, you still have to insert, as for the text, two further lines in
the table. The format of the new line will be taken over from the tolerance
comparison (see above).
For this table, you have to define several lines. You can do that via the list from
the dialogue (see picture below).
3-24 19.09.2005
3.4.10 Font Colour

The line for the output of the tolerance comparisons, which are out of control
limits, must be printed in blue colour. For this, it is necessary to set the character
font. In order that you will not have to individually do this for each column, first
you should select all columns of the line (Windows conventions).
In the font definition dialogue, you change the font colour in blue. You do the
same with the third line; this means for the tolerance comparisons, which are out
of tolerance limits. Here, you change the font colour in red.
3.4.11 Appearance Conditions

We also have to adapt the appearance conditions. This would be as follows.
Appearance Condition
Out of Tolerance Limits if(InfType="Tol" AND Tol.TolState="OOT",.T.,.F.)
Out of Control Limits if(InfType="Tol" AND Tol.TolState="OOC",.T.,.F.)
OK if(InfType="Tol" AND Tol.TolState="OK",.T.,.F.)
Hint
The InfType="Tol" and TolState conditions are linked with AND And -. I.e.
only if the two conditions are true, the line will be printed.
For the layer of the following pages, you select and copy the elements that you
need from the first side and insert them on the following sides.
19.09.2005 3-25
Output: Tolerance Comparison with 3 Lines
4 Output: Tolerance Comparison with 3

Lines
For the output of a position tolerance with X, Y, Z it may be necessary to print out
this position tolerance in three lines. For this, you use a further property of the
table. If all columns of a line are empty, this line will automatically not be printed.
The specialized variables listed in the following table use this table property.
Variable Description
Nominal1-3 Nominal value for X,Y and Z (1 = X, 2 = Y and 3 = Z)
Actual1-3 Actual value for X,Y and Z
CrdLbl1-3 Designation of the reference co-ordinates for X, Y and Z
LowerTol1 Since the lower tolerance limit must not be output in some instances, this
additional variable exists.
TolBar1 For some tolerance comparisons, only a one sided bar chart must be
output.
RefNo1 The number of the reference element must only be output in some
instances.
RefName1-2 Name of the reference element (reference e.g. parallelism). This name
will only be output in some instances, too.
Here, the Mitutoyo standard layout is used for information. The variables in bold
face printing are special variables out of the list.
ProgLine ElenNo TolLbl ElemName CrdLbl1 Nominal1 UpperTol Actual1 Deviation OutOfSpec
RefNo1 RefName2 CrdLbl2 Nominal2 Tolerance2 Actual2 TolBar2
RefName3 CrdLbl3 Nominal3 Actual3
By this table functionality, the 2nd and 3rd line will only be printed in case of need.
The appearance conditions are the same for the three lines. An example for such
a table could be as follows:
4-26 19.09.2005
Layout with Pictures
5 Layout with Pictures

5.1 Generalities for Pictures
The picture of the part changes according to the selected part. Furthermore, a
picture is displayed in the table to see whether the tolerance comparison is good
(green) or bad (red).
5.1.1 Basis of Conception

The part dependent pictures can be realized in a user friendly manner. The basis
of conception is that in the "General.PartName" variable, you will find the part
name with which it is possible to realize an If-condition. For the picture of the part,
a frame will be inserted for a drawing. In contrast to the example above where a
fixed file name is specified, here we use a formula.
19.09.2005 5-27
The example is realized for four part programs. The part names are Part_1 to
Part_4. For each of these parts exists a picture which, depending on the part
name, will be loaded into the drawing frame. The formula looks like follows:
if(General.PartName.Contents="Part_1",Drawing ("Part_1.bmp"),
Drawing ("Mega Frank.jpg")))))
Explanation
In this formula, four If-conditions are branched with each other.
An If-condition does always consist of a condition and two instructions. It
is, however, necessary that the result of this condition is always only true
or false. Consequently, there is one instruction each in a true If-condition
and in a false if-condition. If a further If-condition is inserted in place of an
instruction, this will be called a "Nested If-Condition".
5.1.2 Syntax
If(condition , [Instructions for condition fulfilled], [Instructions for condition not fulfilled])
Then, the formula works as follows:
In the first If-condition, the PartName.Contents variable is queried

for the contents of “Part_1”.
If this is true, the picture out of the Part_1.bmp Bitmap file will be
loaded in the frame.
If the condition is not true, the sub-condition is inserted, which

queries for "Part_2" etc.
If all conditions will not be fulfilled, an alternative picture will be

loaded in the frame.
5-28 19.09.2005
5.2 Tolerance Comparison in the Picture

5.2.1 Advantages of RTF Format
In the table, a picture must display the tolerance comparison. Moreover, even
here a tolerance comparison must be output in up to three lines. In order that the
picture and the measurement values will be output in one line, placed next to
each other, we have used the RTF format for the output of the measurement
values. The RTF format offers advantages because it is possible to enter a
formatted text for a table cell. This means, in this cell you can work as in each
text-processing program.
the line for the tolerance comparison and on the other hand
the line for the output of the text.
The appearance condition for the text and the tolerance comparison are the
same as in the first example (see Appearance conditions).
Then, the table line for the tolerance comparison would look like follows:
Thus, the formulas are directly imbedded in the cells. For the pictures that are
output per table line, the formula would look like follows:
if(Tol.TolState="OK",Drawing ("OK.bmp"),
if(Tol.TolState="OOC",Drawing ("OOC.bmp"),
if(Tol.TolState="OOT",Drawing ("OOT.bmp"),
Drawing ("NOFIT.bmp"))))
Explanation
This is a branched If-condition, too.
• If the Tolstate variable returns the “OK” text, the picture for OK
(green smiley) will be loaded in the table cell.
• If the condition is not true, i.e. “OK” has not been returned, the
next If condition for "OOC" will be examined.
• If all conditions are not true, the "NoFit.bmp" (grey smiley)
picture will be loaded in the table line.
19.09.2005 5-29
Hint
For this type of table with a picture, the use of RTF text is not imperative.
You can do this with a usual table, too. Furthermore, you should use the
function „ProjectPath$ ()“ for the integration of picture, as some part
program commands are capable of changing the current path. As a result,
the picture cannot be found. The „ProjectPath$ ()“ function causes the
path of the template to be added to the name of the „OK.bmp“ picture with
the function „C:\Cosmos\Layout\OK.bmp“.
5.2.2 Number of Program Line and Reference Co-Ordinates

In the next cell, the number of the program line and the designation of the
reference co-ordinates must be output. For this, the cell will be set to RTF format.
After double-clicking on the cell input, the dialogue for the formatted text will be
opened. The cell is not very wide and the formula is wrapped automatically.
But since the contents of the variables are not very voluminous that is to say
long, this will not happen at printout. For a better readability, the formula is
displayed once again in the text field.
«ToRTF$(Tol.ProgLineNo)»
«Tol.RefCrdLbl1»
Explanation
• The ProgLinNo variable will be changed to RTF text by means
of the ToRTF$() function.
• The variables by themselves must always be placed within
ticked double brackets "«»".
• After the variables, you will find a line wrapping.
• Beneath, you will find the second variable.
• If you have to do with a variable containing text, you can leave
out the function.
5-30 19.09.2005
Other example for RTF text:

«ToRTF$(Tol.Nominal1)»
Hint
You will find this example in the layouts we supply so that you may have a
better look on the table by means of the example.
On principle, you should always edit the RTF text using the formula
editor (see symbol left). Using the formula editor causes the inserted fields
such Tol.Nominal1 (see above) to be converted into RTF text.

Template with Dummy Table
6 Template with Dummy Table

6.1 Problem
If you want to create a template consisting only of head data and or pictures
(pictures above), you will only get one page when printing this template. In this
case, only the 1st page.
You will meet the same problem, if you have realized a template in which on the
first page only pictures are output and the tables only on the last pages (pictures
below). Also in this case, only the first page would be printed out, but not your
tables.
The problem is that the printers "believe"

if they only find pictures and head data on the first page and no
tables,
that afterwards no pages will follow and their job is done. This is
why we have to make sure that on the pages where in fact no tables
are intended, yet, there will be tables (dummy tables).
6-32 19.09.2005
Template with Dummy Table
6.2 Problem Solving

To print those protocols, yet, insert an dummy table on the pages where no
tables exist. At a time, the tables must contain a random measurement value.
The printer doesn’t accept tables without measurement value as tables to be
printed.
Because you want to output your measurement values on the last page in
a table, measurement values you have output on the pages before would
be missing on this last page.
Therefore, the frame of the table must be selected so “small” that the printer
prints the table but without enabling it to output the measurement value (see
table in the picture below with only the “Dummy” headline.
If this table should output a measurement value, yet, (the frame is not
small enough) this measurement value will not appear any more at the
end in the designated table of measurement values because it has
already been output once before.
In order that these dummy tables cannot be seen in the printout, you can hide
them behind a picture or a font and fill the table frame with white colour. You will
find the colour setting for the table frame in the “Table” dialogue on the “Table
Layout” index card under “Colours”.

One Sided Template with Label
7 One Sided Template with Label
Hints
To be able to use this type of “Protocol with Label”, you have to enter
position numbers for the tolerance comparisons, which must be output in
the protocol.
The tolerance comparison must be unambiguous.
Furthermore, you have to insert all template elements on the basis layer,
i.e. you can print only one page with this layout.
Each label will be displayed in form of a table. For creating of such a
table, you still have other possibilities as shown in this example.
In our example, the table is represented with a headline (name and value). After
that, the measurement values are output line by line.
Name Value
Position no. PosNo
Element name ElemName
Tolerance name TolName
Nominal value Nominal
Actual value Actual
7-34 19.09.2005
You already know the dialogue you have to edit out of the chapter "The table".
7.1 Table for Tolerance Comparison

Prerequisite for that is you place for each line an appearance
condition.
The formula for the appearance condition is:
if(val(Tol.PosNo) =1,.T.,.F.)
19.09.2005 7-35
Explanation
This is a simple If-condition.
The Tol.PosNo variable includes the position number as text.
Through the Val function, the text changes to a number.
By means of the number, now it is possible to realize an IF statement.
If the position number of the present tolerance comparison is 1, “True” will
be returned.
Because in case of “True“, the line will not be printed.
For this table, you have to define several lines. You can do that via the list (see
picture below).
7.2 Function of the Table

On principle, the print function treats all tables of a page the same way, i.e. at
each table, you start with the first tolerance comparison and all the other
tolerance comparisons will be processed one after the other. Through the
appearance condition, each table can only output one tolerance comparison. All
the other tolerance comparisons will be ignored.
7.3 Creating Own Templates

If the layout is suitable for you, you should copy a table out of the "Flag
Protocol.mte" example and insert it in your template. Then, you only have to
adapt the position number in the formula.
If you need an other repartition of the table, we recommend copying the formula.
7-36 19.09.2005
Template of Several Pages with Label
8 Template of Several Pages with Label

8.1 Prerequisites
With this type of template, each page must have an own layer.
Instead of “First Page“ and “Following Pages”, the layers “First

Page”, “Second Page” etc. must exist.
With this template, no tables must be on the basis page.
Another condition is that the position numbers in the part program

are ascendant and consecutive.
In principle, the pages of the template are identical to the layout of the one sided
protocol. To be able to printout several pages, you still have to insert on each
layer, with exception of the basis layer, a dummy table. This dummy table must
output as much as values with a position number, as tables exist on the page.
8.2 Defining Several Layers

To define new layers,
Ö open the layer dialogue via the “Project -> Layer Definition…” menu
item.
Ö By means of the “Insert a Line” button, you can insert new layers.
Ö The condition you have to enter for the new layer is always "Page()
= [no. of the page]".
Example:
19.09.2005 8-37
8.3 Principle of Function

Normally, only one table is placed on each page. This table will be progressively
processed of the print function, i.e. of each single tolerance comparison; the
values will be taken and inserted in the table as defined before in the template. If
the table is full, a new page will be opened. There, the other values will be
inserted.
If you insert several tables on a page, these are handled all the same. The
number of the tolerance comparisons, which are processed for each page will be
determined by the table containing the most tolerance comparisons.
Because, however, the tables in our template always can output only
one tolerance comparison, namely only the tolerance comparison with
the corresponding position number, after all only one tolerance
comparison will be processed for each page. This means, only the first
table would always be filled with measurement values.
In order that the tolerance comparisons for the other tables will be processed,
you have to insert a table, which outputs as many tolerance comparisons as
tables exist on the page.
Example
If you want to output four tables on the page, i.e. the measurement values
of the position number 1 to 4, you have to insert a table that is able to
output the tolerance comparisons up to position number 4.
So that these dummy tables will not appear in the printout, you can either “hide”
the table behind the picture or print the lines and the font of the table in white.
8-38 19.09.2005
Hint
You still have to consider that if you don’t always want to have an
additional page at printout, you will have to enlarge the table of the last
page so that all remaining values in this table can still be output.

Template with a GEOPAK Graphics
9 Template with a GEOPAK Graphics

9.1 The View Variables
Use the view variables to output the graphics
generated in GEOPAK. Max. 9 graphics are
available for this purpose.
For this, each single view is shared out to the

different types of graphics.
The following value can be output with the individual types of graphics.
9-40 19.09.2005
Here, the generation of the template is described using the circularity graphics.
After a circularity graphic has been generated in the part program, this graphic
needs to be stored for printing. Use the button framed in red (ill. below) to
activate the dialogue for saving the graphic.
19.09.2005 9-41
In this dialogue you can assign a name and three comments with regard to the
graphic. The most important input in this dialogue, however, is the view number.
If, for example, the circularity is output with view number 1 in the template you
intend to use, you will also need to select view number 1 in the dialogue for
saving the circularity graphic. Should you select another number in the part
program, the field for the graphics and the values remains empty for printing.
9-42 19.09.2005
9.2 Generating the Template

The handling of the view variables is identical to the handling of other variables,
i.e. the headdata. You will find all results for the graphic under View1.Circularity.
Each result has two values, i.e. contents and name. With the variable "Contents"
you get the result and with the variable "Name" the name of the result.
You find the graphic under "View1.Graphic.Contents". Variables containing

graphics are identified with a different icon.
The following picture shows how the fields for the circularity graphics and the
relevant results have been positioned.
19.09.2005 9-43
In principle, you have the possibility to output these view variables on one or
more pages. If you define an output on several pages, please keep in mind that
the output will always be distributed on the defined number of pages, i.e. if you
have defined a template for the output of four views, then always four pages will
be printed – also if you have only stored three views in your part program.
Although you may use some tricky additional conditions in the template to avoid
this, we recommend in this case that you use the views for a table.
Tip:
In the learn mode you also have the possibility to make changes to the
graphics. To do so, choose "Edit graphic" in the "Store graphic for
template" dialogue. Here, you can insert photos or labels into a graphic. In
the Editor tab of the PartManager settings simply enter path and file name
of your drawing program. Condition is that your drawing program supports
WMF files.

Template with a GEOPAK Graphic in a Table
10 Template with a GEOPAK Graphic in a

Table
The main disadvantage of working with the view variables is their limitation to 9
views and the lack of flexibility regarding the number of graphics to be printed.
These disadvantages can be avoided by using the view fields. Here, the views
are output in a table, i.e. any number of graphics is possible. The disadvantage of
the view fields lies in that it is not very easy to insert graphics.
Using a table furthermore constrains your scope of design. The structure of the
view fields is identical to the structure of a view of the view variables. Like the
field of the InfType, there is the field of the ViewType for the graphics. You can
use the field ViewType to control the output of the different types of graphics.
The return code of ViewType is always the name of the folder, like for example
"AxialRunOut", "BestFit", "Circularity" or "ComparePnts". Therefore, you need not
memorise the return codes as you can just have a look into the list of variables.
10-46 19.09.2005
See the list below for the individual types of graphics:
If you wish to output a graphic using the view fields, just go to the dialogue for
saving the graphic and set "For the table". The graphic is then output in
chronological sequence. As you already know from the texts, you also have the
possibility to assign a position number. With the appropriate setting for sorting,
the graphic is sorted into the list by its position number.
Below, find a description of how to use this feature on the basis of the templates
"Standard Report with Graphic" and "Graphic output in a table".
19.09.2005 10-47
10.1 Templates "Standard Report with Graphic"

The template is a Mitutoyo standard report extended by the view fields. The
output of the graphics is geared to how the graphic and the values of the view
variables are output.
As the layout of the output of the values is almost identical for all graphics, you
will first define the output for a graphic type. You can then take on and adapt
these lines for all further outputs of graphics.
In this template, the circularity was defined first. Then, the definition of the
individual lines for the output of the circularity is as follows:
Definition in the template
10-48 19.09.2005
Output example
In this example, the value for "HeadLine" was empty, so this line was not printed.
To clarify the layout, the following table itemises the definition of the individual
lines.

Line 9. Circularity Comment 1

The definition of the comparison of points looks as follows:
For comparing the points, only the line definition "Dataline" is required for the
output of the result, i.e. the remaining line definitions need not to be copied and
adjusted at all.
The same procedure applies for the other types of graphics.
19.09.2005 10-51
10.2 Templates "Graphic output in a table"

To be able to print two graphics on one page, the template "Graphic output in a
table" was created. The "Mitutoyo Report" formed the basis for this template and
was extended by the output of the view fields.
In order to fit two graphics including the corresponding values in one page, the
graphic needs to be smaller than the one before and there is no space for the
values below the graphic. Therefore, the values have been placed besides the
graphic to the right.
10-52 19.09.2005
To be able to represent all results one below the other and within one column,
the results need to be inserted into the table in RTF text format. For this, the
"Text format" needs to be switched to RTF. The layout for the output of the
graphic then looks as follows:
The name and the three comments are output in an own line. The drawing and
the results are also output in one line only. As the name should be output right-
justified and the value should be output left-justified, two columns are needed as
this feature can only be assigned per column.
19.09.2005 10-53
10.3 From Variables to Fields of Graphics

In most cases, you will begin with the variables for graphics as these are easier
to handle but in practice one usually has the requirement that only one pdf-file at
a time shall be generated as a measurement report. There are two possibilities:
Either you prepare one template for each requirement or you combine the
individual pdf-files to a single one.
These two solutions have one factor in common: both solutions are way too
circumstantial and time consuming. In such cases you should always try to
generate a template with view fields. Below, find a description exemplified by the
following template:
With this template three views are used on the page. The fact that these three
views are positioned over each other makes it a difficult task which is not
realisable in one table. You can, however, use three tables for this output and
position these three tables like the view variables in the above example. You only
need to ensure that in these three tables only those graphics are printed that are
intended for output. For this, you will have to set a condition with which you get
the information about the relevant graphic into the template.
If no position numbers have been assigned, the graphics are printed out in the
sequence in which they were saved. You could, for example, activate an internal
counter for counting the graphics. So by keeping to a certain sequence when
saving the graphics, this could be used to create the display condition of the
individual tables.
Another possibility is to use the name of the graphic. If you use, for example, the
name "Main" for the main graphic and the names "Detail1" and "Detail2" for the
other two graphics, this can be used to create a display condition. For the main
graphic, this would look as follows:
if(Contains (View.TolCompContour.Graphic.Name,"Main"),.T.,.F.)
10-54 19.09.2005
The display condition is identical for the other two tables with the exception of the
query value. This ensures that the tables can only output a specific graphic. A
test print would look as follows:
With the template on one page, also other values are output that have been
entered using the headdata but this is no longer possible because the headdata
are global data.
As only one graphic can be output in the tables, additional values need to be
stored together with the graphic. The comments of the graphic can be used for
this purpose.
There are several possibilities for the input of the additional values. In this case
the choice was an UDL-dialogue that queries the additional values before each
new measurement. These additional values can then be passed on when saving
the graphic. The formula for the first comment could read as follows:
@[SerNum];@[BladID];@[SecID]
If several values need to be included in a string, a good solution is the Case$

function. This allows to extract the first, second etc. value from the text line simply
by entering a number and the separator. The formula for the first value would
then read as follows:
Case$ (0,View.TolCompContour.Comment1.Contents,";")
Tip:
In the Case$ function it is counted from zero, i.e. the value of the text line
with "0" will be the first value.
The output of the additional values needs to be done in the table with the main
graphic as this main graphic contains an additional column for the values. To
allow the values to be also printed one below each other, the column is in RTF-
format.
19.09.2005 10-55
Thus, the line definition of the table for the main graphic looks as follows:
Column Formula
1 Part Description
«ToRTF$(Headdata.FieldNo.01.Contents)»
Part Number
«ToRTF$(Headdata.FieldNo.02.Contents)»
Serial Number
«Case$ (0,View.TolCompContour.Comment1.Contents,";")»
…
2 View.TolCompContour.Graphic.Contents
The first two values are global values and can be input using the headdata
further on.
After adding a protocol head, the printout looks as follows:
10-56 19.09.2005
CAT1000S Graphics
11 CAT1000S Graphics
11.1 Variables
CAT1000S offers two possibilities to print out graphics using variables, i.e. the
variables CAT1000S and CAT1000SView.
CAT1000S CAT1000SView
For each individual view:
19.09.2005 11-57
CAT1000S Graphics
11-58 19.09.2005
CAT1000S Graphics
With the variables of CAT1000S, you always output the current results and
graphics. With the variables of CAT1000SView, you can save the graphic and the
results of a certain condition. This means that you can represent a chronological
sequence of a measurement.
The functionality and the method of working with these variables are identical to
functionalities and working methods of other GEOPAK variables but the number
of views can be extended to up to 999 views. The corresponding settings can be
adjusted in the defaults for programs in the PartManager.
11.2 Fields
Like with GEOPAK graphics, CAT1000S also offers the possibility to output the
graphics in a table. The layout for the output of graphics regarding the fields is
identical to that of CAT1000SView.
Variables for CAT1000SView Fields for View
19.09.2005 11-59
CAT1000S Graphics
As opposed to the CAT1000SView variables, the measurement points are saved

with the graphic. So by activating or respectively deactivating some of the
measurement points before saving a graphic you define which measurement
points are included in the output together with the graphic.
The example of the third graphic clarifies this as follows:

11-60 19.09.2005
CAT1000S Graphics
As is clearly visible in this example, 6

measurement points on the model are
visible in the graphic so that six
measurement points will be printed out
with the graphic.
The template for the output of graphics is easier than the GEOPAK template.
This is due to the fact that CAT1000S has only one type of graphic.
Below, find a description of the template "Example 11 Multi View List Engl.mte":
19.09.2005 11-61
CAT1000S Graphics
Template layout:
The template has some specialties: A group line is inserted in the template
(green line). This group line has the effect that each new graphic is printed out on
a new page.
To ensure a proper functioning of this feature, a change condition needs to be
defined. Basically, this is a text that is checked with each new data set. If the text
changes from one data set to the next, e.g. AÖB, the change condition is met
and you can, for example, trigger an event like a page break. In case of this
template, this has been solved by means of a user variable.
Name Formula
@GraphName if(Drawing$ (View.Histogram)!="",Drawing$ (View.Histogram),@GraphName)
In this case, the histogram serves as the text for comparing for the change
condition. By means of the function "Drawing$" you get the path and file name
from the histogram which is then saved in the user variable to make the path and
file name also available for the measurement points of the graphic. Here an
explanation by the working off of a printing list:
List entry InfType Data type
1 View Graphic
2 CAT1000S Measurement point for graphic
3 CAT1000S Measurement point for graphic
… … …
10 View Graphic
… … …
11-62 19.09.2005
CAT1000S Graphics
The first entry is a graphic. Therefore, the result of Drawing$(View.Histogram) is

unequal to an empty text. In this case, the first condition is applicable and path
and file name are saved into the user variable GraphName.
The following nine data sets are measurement points. This means that the
content of View.Histogram is not occupied and is thus an "empty text". In this
case, the second condition applies. The value of GraphName is passed back to
itself and thus remains in place. With the next graphic data set, the first condition
is again valid and the old path and file name is exchanged against the path and
file name of the new graphic. At this moment, the change condition is also met
and a page break is executed.
Output of Headdata as Data Lines

A further specialty is the lack of headers in the table. The normal headers are
always printed at the beginning of the table. In our case, this would always be
above the graphic as the first data set is always a graphic. In order to allow that
the headers are output before the measurement points, the headers have just
simply been defined as data lines. So because the headers are only text, this text
would be printed out once for each data set.
Because the headdata have received the following display condition, these are
only printed out in case of a graphic.
if(Drawing$ (View.Histogram)!="",.T.,.F.)
That the headers are printed out before the measurement data is specified by the
sequence of the line definition. The lines of the headdata are arranged behind the
lines for the graphic output and are therefore output last with a graphic. Due to
the fact that the next data set is a measurement value they are output before this
data set.

Templates for ROUNDPAK-CMM
12 Templates for ROUNDPAK-CMM
The program ROUNDPAK-CMM has been designed for circularity tests on high-
precision CMM measurement machines with round table. Due to the high number
of evaluation possibilities, Mitutoyo has not assigned own tokens for each
individual evaluation type and the corresponding values when integrating the
evaluation results in GEOPAK.
The output of these measurement results has been realised via variable fields,
i.e. in the template you will only define the number of fields you wish to output.
How to proceed
A dialogue exists for each evaluation in ROUNDPAK-CMM. In these
dialogues you determine the results and graphics to be output.
Example of circularity:
By clicking the check boxes you specify the results to be included in the output,
Values without check boxes are always included in the output. You can change
the sequence of the individual values using the arrow buttons.
12-64 19.09.2005
Sequence and contents of the individual variable fields:

(*) This entry is fixed and cannot be changed by the user.
19.09.2005 12-65
Example for the content of the variable fields in case of the measurement
condition:
Variable fields Kind of contents Contents

1 Element Rotate-OuterRD_1
2 Escape Value 0,00 mm
3 Measure Length --
4 Rotate Speed 6rpm
5 Magnification 1000
Like for measurement results, you can also specify the graphics to be
included in the output by clicking the check box.
12-66 19.09.2005
As a specific characteristic, you can also specify the height and width of
the graphic in the dialogue. This is of particular interest for outputs with
big-sized graphics.
You should, however, always take care that all ROUNDPAK-CMM

graphics are scaled.
The following example illustrates the consequences when the frame in the
template is too small for the graphic: Only a part of the graphic is printed.
19.09.2005 12-67
In the picture below, the variable fields for ROUNDPAK-CMM are shown.
20 variable fields for the output of measurement results and 9 variable
fields for the output of the graphics are available. In addition, there are the
tokens DataType, EvalType, EvalIcon and GrfType for controlling the
output.
You can use the token DataType to determine whether the data are data
from the part program of the measurement conditions ort he measurement
results. The content of the field can take on the following values:
Graphic, HeadProg, DataProg, HeadMeas, DataMeas, HeadRes or
DataRes.
Separate lines
You can use the token DataType to define separate lines for the output of
the three different data types. Furthermore, you can separately define
header and data line for each data type

Comment:
With the flexible protocol, the total number of pages is not available
before printing due to the multitude of options. But to be able to output
a total number of pages, a hidden print preview to see the total
number of pages is required first.
You have to be aware of the fact that using this variable prolongs the
printing time.
