Abstract
An optical measuring machine is provided with an operating board which is provided separately from the main body of the optical measuring machine and which inputs and/or outputs measuring information and a retaining portion for removably retaining the operating board on a side surface of the main body. The operating board is ordinarily retained on the side surface of the main body, thereby enabling the reduction in the space for the installation of the measuring machine and the improvement of portability. When the operating board mounted on the side surface of the main body is difficult to use due to the positional relationship with an object of measurement, the necessity to set complicated measuring conditions or the like, it is possible to use the operating board in the state of being removed from the main body.
