Page 6: Metrology 4.0 Software
Metrology 4.0 software Metrology 4.0 incorporates all features that are crucial for measurement and analysis. The software has the added ability of having its own fully automated 3D instrument view which allows a true visualisation of the measurement platform. The software platform is split up into 3 distinct sections: Instrument, Analysis and Production Interface. -

Page 19: Selecting The Stylus
Selecting the stylus To select a stylus, acces the configuration dialog box. 1. Navigate to the ‘Gauge’ section of the instrument ribbon and click on the ‘Settings’ icon. 2. This then brings up a dialog box containing a stylus drop-down list, which is populated with the options available. - Page 20 Note If the selected stylus has previously been calibrated then it is possible to restore that last calibration. Please note it is best-practise metrology to re-calibrate after replacing the stylus to ensure the more accurate results. Adding a new stylus To add a new stylus to Metrology 4.0, access the ‘Gauge’...

The measurement procedure steps are below: 1. -
Page 39: Measurement Settings
Measurement settings 1. Measurement name - This is used to distinguish between measurements. The idea is to give the measurement a clear name which can be easily identified later. There is an option to auto-increment from a certain value which can improve the ability to distinguish between measurements and prevent overwrites. - Page 40 Follow mode - Select to allow the X axis to track the surface and keep the gauge within range. Used when measuring parts with large forms, such as cams. 10. Contact before measurement - An automatic contact can be selected before the measurement takes place, this ensures that the correct gauge reading is active before starting.
- Page 41 22. C2 (Rotary Stage) - See descriptions below. Speed / Direction - The speed at which the measurement will take place is set here. The direction at which the measurement will take place. Increment - Rotary stage movement in degrees after each HPR measurement.
