Abstract
A scanning path is divided after every predetermined number of segments and a set of measurement commands is defined for each of the predetermined number of segments. While executing the measurement command, a speed pattern plan is created for the following measurement command. At this time, planning is conducted such that a final speed of a speed pattern plan of the measurement command is the same as an initial speed of the speed pattern plan of the following measurement command. While executing the measurement command, a gap time (from a current time to an estimated end time of the measurement command) is calculated continuously. When the gap time is longer than a planning calculation time, the initial speed of the speed pattern plan of the following measurement command is kept the same as the final speed of the speed pattern plan of the measurement command.
