Chapter 4
Programming
The QC-5000 is user programmable. Users can perform a series of steps and
save it as a program for later use. When the program is executed the QC-5000
prompts the user to perform the necessary steps for the inspection of the part.
This function is useful for repetitive measuring of large quantities of parts. QC-
5000 programs are part specific, that is each program is for a specific part. A
sample program and instructions to create it are included in this chapter.
Programming Overview
The QC-5000 programming feature works like a tape recorder. The following
sections explain programming features and demonstrate how to create, save,
and run a program. To avoid confusion, use the QC-5000 demo part for the
following sections. Any multi-feature part may be substituted in later pro-
grams.
Keep in mind that QC-5000 programs execute sequentially. If a step references
a feature, that feature must already be measured. Here are two simple tips for
hassle free programming:
•
Only reference features that have been measured prior to the step that
references them.
•
Do not delete a features that are part of a construction.
NOTE
In this section all instructions refer to the program toolbar. The
same procedures can be performed using the pull down menus
at the top of the screen as well.
NOTE
Toolbars in the QC-5000 software can be customized. This manual
attempts to display the most common toolbar arrangements.
Some users may find the toolbar setup on their system varies
from those shown here.
