Abstract
In a measuring room 1, a three-dimensional measuring apparatus 2 for measuring an object, a control apparatus 3 for driving and controlling the three-dimensional measuring apparatus 2, and a host computer 4 for transmitting a measurement instruction to the control apparatus 3 and receiving measured information therefrom are disposed. In an operating room 7, which is disposed at a remote place of the measuring room 1, a remote operating apparatus 9 and a CAD/CAT system 10 are disposed. The remote operating apparatus 9 is connected to a host computer 4 through a LAN. The CAD/CAT system 10 is linked to the remote operating apparatus 9. The remote operating apparatus 9 generates a measurement instruction in response to an input operation on a measurement instruction screen and transmits a part program generated by the CAD/CAT system 10 to the host computer 4. The remote operating apparatus 9 and the host computer 4 are communicated by a communication protocol of TCP/IP.
