Organizing Calypso Program Files
- Decide on a folder location for your CMM programs, preferably on a network drive.
- Organize programs in a logical folder structure. One possible approach would be something like: Quality/CMM/Programs/[Customer Name]/[Part Number]/[Measurement Plans here]
For example: Quality/CMM/Programs/Honeywell/7005643/7005643 Rev3 Side 1
(Sometimes you will have more than one program for a single part number, so the program(s) will be saved in the Part Number folder.)
The Quality/CMM/Results folder is where you could store Calypso results files.
- Create an “_Archive” folder inside the “CMM Programs” folder. (The underscore will keep the folder at the top of the list.)
- Move any “Measurement Plan” folders to the “_Archive” folder that have non-descriptive or obviously temporary names. For example:
- Measurement Plan3
- temp
- delete
- bob’s program
- test
- asdfklj
- OD check
- 123
It is best to never delete a file unless you are absolutely sure you will never need it again! Otherwise, move it to an Archive folder just in case.
- Move other existing programs to the new folder structure that you set up in the previous steps.
- If there are multiple versions of programs for the same part number, add an “Archive” folder inside the part number folder. Move all old-revision programs there.
