The Geomet screen is divided into textual
and graphical area, well proportioned for
their intended purpose. System Status,
prompts and helpful user information appears
reliably when and where needed. To avoid
confusion whatever is not relevant to the
task at hand is not shown. The operator has
the option to have either the text or the
graphical area cover the whole screen. The
former is an advantage when you run a part
program and wish to better view the results.
If you program from an imported CAD model, a
larger graphical presentation of the part is
desirable. As each feature is measured it is
drawn in 3D in wire frame or solid
rendering. Size, location, attitude and
projections are to scale and are consistent
with ANSI Y14.5M principles.
The System
Status and Prompt area is extremely useful.
It tells the operator clearly what to do
next and indicates important conditions of
the measurement being executed, like active
Part Coordinate System, Cartesian/Polar,
active Stylus number and IN/mm. |
