Abstract
An exemplary embodiment is a method, system and storage medium for generating a tool kit for a coordinate measurement system. The system includes a user interface and a processor for receiving a request from the user interface to generate an executable tool kit, presenting a basic tool selection list for the tool kit to the user interface, receiving a basic tool selection from the basic tool selection list and generating the tool kit. The system also includes a coordinate measurement system that executes the tool kit.
Claims26
A system for providing a tool kit for measuring a feature of a part, the system comprising:
- a user interface;
- a processor for receiving a request from said user interface to generate the tool kit providing instructions guiding an operator through a number of measurement steps to be performed with a coordinate measurement system to measure at least one feature, said tool kit being an executable programs, presenting a basic tool selection list for said tool kit to said user interface, the basic tool selection list including a plurality of basic tools, said basic tools being executable programs, each basic tool corresponding to a measurement to be performed with the coordinate measurement system, receiving a basic tool selection from said basic tool selection list and generating said tool kit;
- and
- the coordinate measurement system;
- wherein said coordinate measurement system executes said tool kit.
A system for altering a tool kit for measuring a feature of a part, the system comprising:
- a user interface;
- a processor for receiving a request from said user interface to modify a basic tool selection in the tool kit providing instructions guiding an operator through a number of measurement steps to be performed with a coordinate measurement system to measure at least one feature, said tool kit being an executable program, presenting a basic tool detail interface to said user interface corresponding to a basic tool corresponding to a measurement to be performed with the coordinate measurement system, said basic tool being an executable program, receiving an input to said basic tool detail interface and modifying said basic tool selection based on said receiving said input to said basic tool detail interface;
- and
- the coordinate measurement system;
- wherein said coordinate measurement system executes said tool kit.
A method for providing a tool kit for measuring a feature of a part, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a user interface to generate an executable tool kit providing instructions guiding an operator through a number of measurement steps to be performed with a three dimensional coordinate measurement system to measure at least one feature, said tool kit being an executable program;
- presenting a basic tool selection list for said tool kit to said user interface, the basic tool selection list including a plurality of basic tools, said basic tools being executable program, each basic tool corresponding to a measurement to be performed with the coordinate measurement system;
- receiving a basic tool selection from said basic tool selection list;
- and
- generating said tool kit in response to the basic tool selection.
A method for providing a toolkit to a user interface for measuring a feature of a part, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from said user interface to use an executable toolkit providing instructions guiding an operator through a number of measurement steps to be performed with a coordinate measurement system to measure at least one feature, said tool kit being an executable program;
- receiving a request from said user interface to modify a basic tool selection in said tool kit corresponding to a basic tool corresponding to a measurement to be performed with the coordinate measurement system, said basic tool being an executable program;
- presenting a basic tool detail interface to said user interface;
- receiving an input to said basic tool detail interface;
- and
- modifying said basic tool selection based on said receiving said input to said basic tool detail interface.
A storage medium encoded with a machine-readable computer program code for providing a tool kit for a measuring a feature of a part, said storage medium including instructions for causing a processor to implement a method comprising:
- receiving a request from said user interface to generate an executable tool kit providing instructions guiding an operator through a number of measurement stops to be performed with a coordinate measurement system to measure at least one feature, said tool kit being an executable program;
- presenting a basic tool selection list for said tool kit to said user interface, the basic tool selection list including a plurality of basic tools, each basic tool corresponding to a measurement to be performed with the coordinate measurement system, said basic tools being executable programs;
- receiving a basic tool selection from said tool selection list;
- and
- generating said tool kit is response to said basic tool selection.
A storage medium encoded with a machine-readable computer program code for altering a tool kit for measuring a feature of a part, said storage medium including instructions for causing a processor to implement a method comprising:
- receiving a request from said user interface to use an executable tool kit providing instructions guiding an operator through a number of measurement steps to be performed with a coordinate measurement system to measure at least one feature, said tool kit being an executable program;
- receiving a request from said user interface to modify a basic tool selection in said tool kit;
- presenting a basic tool detail interface to said user interface corresponding to a basic tool corresponding to a measurement to be performed with the coordinate measurement system, said basic tool being an executable program;
- receiving an input to said basic tool detail interface;
- and
- modifying said basic tool selection based on said receiving said input to said basic tool detail interface.
