Abstract: A shape measuring machine includes a slider that supports a scanning probe including a tip sphere. A scale unit detects a displacement of the slider. A tip sphere displacement detection unit detects a displacement of the tip sphere. A calculation unit includes a correction filter and an adder, and calculates a measurement value from the displacements of the slider and the tip sphere. The correction filter outputs a correction value that is obtained by correcting the displacement of the tip sphere detected by the tip sphere displacement detection unit based on an inverse characteristic of a frequency transfer characteristic from the scale unit to the tip sphere. The adder calculates the measurement value by adding the displacement of the slider detected by the scale unit and the correction value.

Abstract: A shape measuring machine includes a slider that supports a scanning probe. A scale unit detects a displacement of the slider. A tip sphere displacement detection unit detects a displacement of the tip sphere. A calculation unit includes a correction filter including a first and second filters and an adder, and calculates a measurement value from the displacements of the slider and the tip sphere. The first filter corrects the displacement of the slider based on a frequency transfer characteristic from the scale unit to the tip of the slider. The second filter outputs a value that is obtained by correcting a value corrected by the first filter based on a frequency transfer characteristic from the tip of the slider to the tip sphere as the correction value. The adder outputs a measurement value obtained by adding the correction value and the displacement of the tip sphere.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication module executes close proximity wireless transfer. A connection control module establishes a connection between the communication module and an external device which are in a close proximity state when the communication module is in an unconnected state, and releases the connection when a period in which a response from the external device is absent exceeds a connection time-out value. A communication control module executes a service by close proximity wireless transfer. A detection module detects a start and a stop of the service. A change module changes the connection time-out value in response to detection of the start and the stop of the service, in such a manner that the connection time-out value during a period in which the service is being executed is greater than the connection time-out value during a period in which the service is not executed.
