Chapter 8:
Programming
Sequences of measurement steps can be stored as a program to be executed later. Programs can be run on
manual or CNC systems.
When a program is run on a manual system, the series of required probe locations are shown as a blinking
green dot that moves over the outline of the part in the Part View window. The user need only probe the
locations indicated by the dot to complete a measurement session.
When a program is run on a CNC system with permanent fixturing, the user simply starts the program, then
all subsequent measurement activities are completed by the system as the stage is repeatedly positioned
and the required points are automatically probed. When temporary fixturing is used, the user performs the
initial datum measurements, then the system completes subsequent measurements.
Programs can include any combination of user-defined actions required to:
• Establish measurement references
• Measure, construct or create part features
• Perform tolerance measurements
• Select, and if desired, rename feature data for printed reports and exported files
• Print reports or export reports of measurement results
