Before using the system to measure parts, verify the following steps to ensure proper mechanical and measurement functions: 1. Check that the operator controls and M3 software are running properly. Refer to “System Operations” earlier in this document.

2. Check the lighting controls. Refer to “Illumination Strategy” later in this section.

3. Check the system optics and ensure the optics are appropriate for the measurement being performed. Refer to “Understanding Measurement Strategy” later in this section. 4. Check that the general operating condition guidelines are observed. Refer to “Daily Inspection” later in this document. 5. Check parfocality, parcentricity, and squareness. See “Optical Alignment Verification” in the System Maintenance section.

6. Check calibration. See “Calibration Verification” in the System Maintenance section.

7. To validate that the system is in proper working order, take an artifact of known size and measure the features utilizing the system controls. Once validated, the system can be used on actual parts.
