them for recurring measuring tasks. The following functions are described:
Using the program control
Recording a measuring program
Saving a measuring program
Starting a measuring program
Editing a measuring program
Short description
The product can record and save the steps of a measuring process, and run
them sequentially as a batch process. This batch processing is referred to as the
"measuring program".
In a measuring program, you can thus combine multiple work steps, such as
measuring point acquisition and tolerancing, into a single process. This simplifies
and standardizes the measuring process.
Measuring programs can include the following work steps:
Alignment of the measured object
Measuring point acquisition
Construction and definition
Measurement evaluation
Tolerancing
The work steps of a measuring program are referred to as program steps. The
program steps are displayed in the program step list in the Inspector.

Further information: "Basic operation", page 51
Regardless of whether the feature list or the program step list is
the current view in the Inspector, the product always records every
measuring process or work step as a program step. The operator can
switch the view between the feature list and the program step list at
any time.
