Programming
Begin recording all operator
activities
Enter a unique program name
Create the reference frame for
part measurements
Perform all feature
measurements
Apply tolerances to desired
feature measurements
Print or transmit (send)
measurement data
Stop recording operator
activities
Enter messages that will be
displayed for the operator as
the program is played back.
Messages can be inserted
anywhere in the program.
The basic programming process shown here is
identical for all part types. The details of program
recording are described in the remaining pages of
this section and are included in an example that
measures the largest hole in the 3D demo part,
applies a position tolerance and prints
the results.
Chapter 8:
Programming
QC-330 programs are sequences of measurement steps performed on a part by the operator and stored by
the system for playback later on other identical parts. Using the programming capabilities of the QC-330
greatly increases productivity by compressing the many manual steps required to measure, tolerance and
report part dimensions into a few guided steps which are little more than operator responses to system
prompts.
Programs can be:
• Created (recorded) • Edited • Run on new parts • Archived • Deleted
