3.3.2 MetLogix M3 Software
The HDV system includes the MetLogix M3 advanced metrology software. The software includes the following key features:
• Advanced Video Probes : The M3 software includes several probes that provide the ability to capture complex edges, enable instant feature determination and measurement with the single click, and an industry first video touch probe functionality. • Field of View Functions : The field of view Auto Run function plays part programs to perform measurements quickly without operator intervention. Place one or more identical parts in the field of view and the system will identify the part, execute the appropriate program, and report measurement results. • Touch Probe Support : M3 software includes support for multi-sensor video measuring systems equipped with touch probe modules. Expanded 3-D feature geometries are supported through touch probe and video measurement of features in the XY, YZ and ZX planes. Measure planes, cones, cylinders, and spheres in 3-D part space and then view results in the 3-D part view. Part views can be rotated with markups showing feature measurement results. • Multi-Touch Software Control : In addition to the conventional mouse interface, expanded MultiTouch logic allows for one-touch feature measurements as well as versatile panning and zooming of the live video image and the active part view. This capability increases the efficiency of feature measurements, feature data manipulation, and reporting tasks with a simple pinch zoom, swipe pan, or double click. • Advanced Edge Teach: This feature provides improved edge detection performance under a variety of image and lighting conditions. Features with poor edge contrast, or difficult spacing can be captured in a snap using the M3’s manual teach function. • DXF Overlay and FOV Capability : Using the DFX/FOV option pack, you can import DXF files for “comparative style” Go/No -Go feature and part inspection. This includes a live error whisker display for violations of the original DXF tolerance zones. DFX/FOV option pack features include:
Custom DFX crosshair
