Multi-Touch Software for Portable Measurement Applications



Hexagon Metrology offers ROMER measuring arm packages equipped with PC-DMIS Touch Portable measurement software. Utilizing high-resolution Multi-Touch display technology on a tablet PC, users physically interact with the software's guided measurement sequences and report templates.

One-time dimensions are executed through intuitive automated measurement sequences while more complex measurement plans are created by following guided measurement sequences and measuring features directly on the part. A graphical representation of the measured features is displayed in the center of the interface during all measurement tasks.

PC-DMIS Touch organizes measurement plan features intuitively by "Face," a new concept for the traditional work-plane. The user is guided through measurement processes using a full set of inspection tools, such as simple feature measurement, construction of features or feature sets, 2D and 3D dimensional reporting, GD&T configuration and more. Each of these tasks follows a consistent sequence. PC-DMIS Touch also allows for execution of existing PC-DMIS routines with a swipe of the finger.

"The PC-DMIS Touch interface is particularly well suited to ROMER portable arm users," said a company spokesperson. "The ROMER arm's zero-g counterbalance design that allows single-handed operation leaves the second hand free to interact with the touch screen. Non-repetitive measuring activities that are typical of measuring arms are ideal for the PC-DMIS Touch no-programming-required interface."
