A method for software-based planning of a dimensional measurement of a measurement object includes receiving an input command for selecting at least one measurement element of the measurement object that is to be measured during the measurement. The method includes determining a selection of measurable test features of the at least one selected measurement element. Each of the test features includes a dimensionally measurable measurand of the at least one selected measurement element. The method includes determining a reduced subset of the selection of measurable test features depending on a view currently chosen on a display. The method includes visualizing the test features contained in the reduced subset by generating a graphical representation of each of the test features contained in the reduced subset on the display.

Method and device for software-based planning of a dimensional measurement

A method creates a measurement plan of a dimensional measuring apparatus or controls a measurement of the dimensional measuring apparatus. The method includes receiving setting parameters defining a measurement or control command of multiple measurement or control commands of the dimensional measuring apparatus. The method includes evaluating the setting parameters based on at least one of a statistical evaluation and an evaluation using machine-assisted learning. The method includes determining a presetting that assigns at least one setting parameter of the evaluated setting parameters to the measurement or control command. The method includes outputting a setting parameter proposal based on the determined presetting in response to receiving an input command for selecting the measurement or control command.

Computerized creation of measurement plans and plan-based control of measurement devices

Sensor signals from a sensor of a coordinate measuring machine or microscope describe a workpiece arranged within a space. The sensor and the space are movable relative to one another. A method of visualizing the sensor signals includes obtaining data relating to a three-dimensional scene that is stationary relative to the space. The method includes generating a two-dimensional view image of the scene. The view image has opposing edges predefined with respect to at least one of the two directions. A central region of the view image is located between the edges. The method includes, repeatedly, obtaining a two-dimensional sensor representation of the workpiece and combining the sensor representation with the view image to form a two-dimensional output image. The method includes, in response to movement between the sensor and the space, generating a new view image if the central region would extend beyond either of the edges.

Sensor signal visualization for sensors of coordinate measuring machines and microscopes

An optical measuring device includes at least one optical sensor configured for optical capture of at least one measurement object at multiple image recording positions. The optical measuring device includes at least one display device configured to display, for multiple predetermined and/or determinable image recording positions, in each case a schematic representation of an image to be recorded at the respective image recording position. The optical measuring device includes at least one data processing unit and at least one interface. The interface is configured to provide at least one item of manipulation information to the data processing unit. The data processing unit is configured to, based on the manipulation information, adapt at least one of the image recording position and an image recording parameter of at least one of the images to be recorded.
