A system includes a handheld unit having a light source, an image sensor, one or more first processors, an Ethernet cable, and a frame. The light source projects light onto an object, and the image sensor captures an image of light reflected from the object. One or more first processors are directly coupled to the frame. An accessory device has one or more second processors that receive data extracted from the captured image over the Ethernet cable and, in response, determine three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of points on the object. The accessory device also send electrical power over the Ethernet cable to the handheld unit.

An articulated arm coordinate measuring machine includes an arm having multiple segments and an end assembly. The end assembly has multiple accessory interfaces that allow multiple accessories to be coupled to the end assembly. The accessory interfaces are configured to allow the accessories to be repeatably interchanged between the accessory interfaces.

A handheld three-dimensional (3D) measuring system operates in a target mode and a geometry mode. In the target mode, a target-mode projector projects a first line of light onto an object, and a first illuminator sends light to markers on or near the object. A first camera captures an image of the first line of light and the illuminated markers. In the geometry mode, a geometry-mode projector projects onto the object a first multiplicity of lines, which are captured by the first camera and a second camera. One or more processors determines 3D coordinates in the target mode and the geometry mode.

Wearable coordinate measurement devices are described. The wearable coordinate measurement devices include a wearable member and a measurement portion attached to the wearable member. The measurement portion includes a first rotary measurement device, a first probe linkage having a first probe tip on an end thereof, and a second probe linkage having a second probe tip on an end thereof. The first rotary measurement device is configured to detect a separation distance between the first probe tip and the second probe tip.
