Computing device and method for automatically generating measuring programs

A computing device, comprising:

• a measuring software, the measuring software comprising a script editor;
• a storage unit;
• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more modules that are stored in the storage unit and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more modules comprising instructions to:
• open the script editor and select a macro option of the script editor to show a macro interface;
• initialize the macro interface for loading all data types and loading all macro names of macros stored in a designated directory of the computing device;
• receive variable names inputted through the macro interface, and select variable types through the macro interface;
• generate variable declarations according to the received variable names and the selected variable types, and add the received variable names into the macro interface;
• select a macro name and a variable name through the macro interface;
• assign the selected variable name to a macro corresponding to the selected macro name;
• receive one or more variables inputted into the macro that corresponds to the selected macro name, execute the macro according to the received variables, and output results of the executed macro through the macro interface;
• and
• generate a measuring program of a product according to the above operations, and display the measuring program on the script editor.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, causes the processor to perform a method for automatically generating a measuring program of a product, the method comprising:

• opening a script editor of a measuring software installed in the computing device, and selecting a macro option of the script editor to show a macro interface;
• initializing the macro interface for loading all data types and loading all macro names of macros stored in a designated directory of the computing device;
• receiving variable names inputted through the macro interface, and selecting variable types through the macro interface;
• generating variable declarations according to the received variable names and the selected variable types, and adding the received variable names into the macro interface;
• selecting a macro name and a variable name through the macro interface;
• assigning the selected variable name to a macro corresponding to the selected macro name;
• receiving one or more variables inputted into the macro that corresponds to the selected macro name, executing the macro according to the received variables, and outputting results of the executed macro through the macro interface;
• and
• generating a measuring program of a product according to the above operation, and displaying the measuring program on the script editor.
