6 Navigation of measuring position When using the repeat function to execute the measurement procedure (part program) created with the teaching function, this function will guide the operator to the next measuring point. The next measuring point is indicated when the cross-hairs located at the center of the navigation display is placed on the other cross-hairs, which indicate the next measuring point. The operator is guided to the next measuring point also by moving the stage to a position where the digital counter reading approaches zero Press [LOAD] to enter data, using the cross-hairs of the measuring instrument USER MENU 3. When the cross-hairs overlap, it is close to the next measuring point. 2. Move the measuring instrument stage to place one set of cross-hairs over the other (or to bring the counter reading to zero). 1. The next measuring point is indicated by the cross-hairs. Teaching function When measuring more than one specimen of the same form, the series of key operations performed in the measurement of the first specimen can be stored as a part program. The user can customize the QM-Data200 to best suit their needs by registering frequently used measurement commands and necessary functions such as part programs, etc., to create an original menu (up to 3 menus). [USER MENU] key Example of user menu registration Measurement command User macro Part program Note: A user macro is a measurement command created by the user, and it is a combination of more than one measurement commands. Up to three user menus, from [USER1] to [USER3], can be registered. A maximum of nine icons can be registered for one menu. Other functions Counter function The QM-Data200 can be used as a counter, when it is directly connected to a linear scale. Featuring the zero-set and 1/2 display functions.

(This function is limited to the MF/MF-U series.) *MS-Excel is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation. See the instantaneous measurement using a Vision Unit! There is no need to look into the eyepiece of the measuring microscope simply to align the cross-hairs on the test piece. The electronic eye of the CCD camera captures the edge using the automatic detection. If the measuring point is within the video window screen, the measurement and calculation will be completed instantly. This reduces human errors, prevents eye fatigue, and improves repeatability, thus greatly reducing the measuring time. Measuring the inside diameter 1. Capture the inside diameter of the test piece to be measured on the video window, then adjust the brightness and focus with the measuring microscope s main unit. 2. Select the Circle Measurement key from the function window, and One-click Circle Tool for edge detection from the tool window. 10

11 VISION UNIT Functions for Faster, More Accurate Measurement Quick Navigation (patent pending) The navigation function is combined with the teaching and repeat functions, by which a series of measurement procedures is memorized and reproduced. This function guides the operator to the next measuring point, following the measurement procedure that has been memorized. Move the stage until the green cross-hairs, seen at the center of the monitor screen, are placed atop the red cross-hairs, which indicate the next measuring point, and only the green cross-hairs remain. In this state the next measuring point will be displayed on the screen. As the digital counter approaches zero, the screen will display the next measuring point. This eliminates the need to constantly look at the test piece in order to check the measuring point, thereby freeing the operator to concentrate on the screen displays The red cross-hairs indicate the next measuring point. Measurement navigation The measurement navigation function can be used to check the selected measurement command or current measurement status. It tells the operator what is being measured, what is the next measuring position, and so on. Abnormal point exclusion This function automatically excludes any abnormal point having a burr or chip. The degree of abnormality to which the exclusion applies can be set as desired. 2. When the red cross-hairs and green cross-hairs are close to each other, the measuring position is close by. Graphics window The real-time graphic display of measurement result and element provides a visual image of the measuring point. Also, the graphic display of measuring elements facilitates the selection of a measuring element, making for a quicker measurement process. Counter window 3. When the cross-hairs overlap each other and a target appears, press the input button to complete the measurement. Displays the center of the video window. It is easy to switch between the machine coordinate system (MCS) and the workpiece coordinate system (PCS). The vision unit can be used like a conventional measuring microscope, simply by setting the counter to zero. For example, frequently used icons can be laid out on just one page. 3. When the mouse is clicked in the vicinity of the edge of the measuring point, the edge is automatically detected, measured and calculated 4. The measurement result is displayed. 11

12 Smart Editor During a part program list display, the target position of XY stage travel, coordinate system creation, measuring item command, and edge detection tool are displayed independently as icons or on labels, to facilitate part program editing. Icon Editor Using the Icon Editor, the layout of icons such as the measurement key icon, tool icon, etc., can be freely arranged. The layout setting can be freely determined. Auto-brightness control function (exclusive to MF/MF-U series) The light volumes of microscope s transmitted and reflected lights can be controlled via the software on the PC. It is not necessary to adjust the illumination during a repeat measurement, since the illumination is faithfully reproduced according to the setting selected during the creation of the part program. Even in the measurement of a test piece that requires variations in illumination, consistently accurate edge detection is ensured. This enhances the efficiency of repeated measurements. [MF series brightness control switch panel] [MF-U series brightness control switch panel] With the MF series, this function is available even when the optional ring fiber illuminator, an external illumination system, is connected. Contrast level The contrast around the center of the video window is indicated by a level meter. The peak that is indicated on the level meter is the focal point. This will improve the focal point reproducibility of a manual-type measuring microscope. Video image scale display The scale display, which is proportionate to the real field of view, on the video window lets the operator quickly grasp the approximate size of a test piece. The image can be saved along with the scale display. 12

13 VISION UNIT A variety of measurement commands to cover all the basic measurements. Coordinate system creation key Measurement Key Support from inspection table generation to measurement control Saving image files Image text display The color image on the video window can be saved as a BMP-format file for easy attachment to the image record or inspection table of the test piece. Measurement results and comments can be entered on the color image on the video window via the keyboard. They can also be printed out or saved in a file. Measurement result output The result of measurement using a part program, either before or after focusing, can be output in CSV format. This means the measurement result can be output to a commercial spreadsheet program such as MS-Excel, so that an inspection table can be generated in the original format. Security function The access to the work can be limited according to the level of work simply by setting a password. 13
