Quick Start Demonstration

This chapter demonstrates the operation of the QC-330 system. The demonstration is provided as a means

of quickly helping experienced operators to use the system. This demonstration will be most helpful if you

perform the measurements and other activities as you follow along.

The demonstration will use the Metronics 3D Demo part to establish a measurement reference frame,

measure a part feature, apply a tolerance, print a tolerance report and save all these activities as a program

that can be recalled and run again later.

When the program is run, the series of required points

will be indicated by a green arrow that moves over the

part outline in the View screen. The user need only

probe locations indicated by the arrow to complete

measurements.

The demonstration will be performed using an index-

able probe qualified in the A=0, B=0 position. How-

ever, the same measurements could be performed

using any supported touch probe.

Detailed information regarding reference frames is contained in Chapter 6: Measuring. Information re-

garding tolerancing is contained in Chapter 7: Tolerancing. Report printing is discussed in Chapter 9:

Communication. Information regarding programming is contained in Chapter 8: Programming.
