  • Patent number: 11346661
    Abstract: A method for creating a measurement protocol in a computer, such as the measurement computer of a coordinate-measuring machine or a computer remote therefrom, includes: providing data necessary for creating a measurement protocol generated on the basis of a measurement sequence by the coordinate-measuring machine; providing specification data specifying predefined conditions under which a measurement sequence should be performed and/or specifying predefined conditions under which examination features should be evaluated; checking the data necessary for creating a measurement protocol as to whether the predefined conditions under which the entire measurement sequence should be performed were met and/or as to whether the predefined conditions under which individual examination features to be examined should be evaluated were met; and, creating a measurement protocol in the form of an electronic document, in which compliance and/or non-compliance with the conditions in accordance with the specification data is d

  • Publication number: 20210348907
    Abstract: A method for determining an altered measurement strategy for measurement of a measurement object using a coordinate measuring machine includes measuring the measurement object according to an initial measurement strategy. The method includes determining a measurement quality of the measurement. The method includes, in response to the measurement quality being greater than a predetermined target minimum measurement quality, altering the initial measurement strategy to produce the altered measurement strategy. The altering is performed such that at least one of time required to measure the measurement object in accordance with the altered measurement strategy is reduced, computational outlay required to measure the measurement object in accordance with the altered measurement strategy is reduced, and data storage capacity required to measure the measurement object in accordance with the altered measurement strategy is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8638984
    Abstract: A gesture detection device detects a gesture of a user, which is a movement which is carried out by a hand or by both hands of the user on an existing example of the work piece, or on an image of an existing example of the work piece. An identification device identifies the gesture as a predefined gesture, which represents a symbol. A selection device selects a measurement result in dependence on the identified gesture. The measurement result can then be displayed or marked.
