Hexagon Metrology’s mid-term PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 software includes simplified look and feel interface
1 min read
Highlights of Hexagon Metrology's mid-term release of PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 include a cleaner, simpler look and feel user interface and new software tools. It now uses Microsoft 6.0 Common Controls to provide a more cohesive and intuitive user interface. The appearance of common controls in dialogue boxes has been streamlined throughout the software. For example, the Execution Mode Options dialogue box has been shortened to 'Execution', icons now replace buttons and drop-down lists have been redesigned.
Ken Woodbine, president of Hexagon Metrology Software Division comments: "Our mid-term PC-DMIS software development strategy focuses on user requests and honing our existing tools, while implementing new ideas."
Enhancements have been made across the PC-DMIS EMS (Enterprise Metrology Solutions) platform. The Blade Analysis module includes the ability to create a Nominal file and a Report file directly from PC-DMIS. Using the Blade Scan toolkit, users can now perform a defined path scan. An Auto Feature measurement strategy enables users to scan a plane by moving along a path defined by a set of points. The software also now includes a simple graphical user interface to calibrate LSPX1C, LSPX1H, and LSPX1SF probe changers.
The software also provides a one-click manual target area for optical co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). PC-DMIS Vision software also adds a CWS (chromatic white light sensor) scanning capability to their FDC (firmware distributed control) interface for use with the Hexagon Optiv multi-sensor CMM, as well as continuous wrist mapping for the CMS sensor. The Auto Focus feature in the PC-DMIS Vision module has gained improvements in both speed performance and overall focus repeatability.
PC-DMIS software comes standard with Hexagon Metrology measurement systems, and is also available for a wide range of other metrology devices available in the marketplace.
