The following information provides the controls and interfaces of the HDV systems.
System PC
The HDV systems include a small form factor system PC where the M3 software is preinstalled and controlled.
Touch-screen monitor
The 24-inch touch screen monitor is used to control the M3 software. The monitor displays a live video image of the part in addition to geometry tools and digital readings. The image of the part can be resized using pan and zoom, and measurements are taken by simply tapping a feature on the screen.
Wireless keyboard and mouse
The wireless keyboard and mouse are used to input data to the system PC.
Joystick
The joystick provides position control of the stage in the X and Y axes. The joystick includes functionality to stop the system, switch between axis movement, and control speed. The joystick can be used to operate the system manually for quick individual measurements and short runs.
For detailed information on operating the joystick, refer to “Operating the System” later in this document.
3.3.5 Rotary Stage Option
The HDV system includes the optional APT60 rotary stage. The stage provides numerous benefits including increased radial load stability and moment load rating. In addition, the rotary stage is ideal for positioning small cylindrical parts such shafts, cutting tools and threaded parts. Section 4, “Rotary Stage Specifications” provides the specifications for the rotary stage option.
