Creating the new part
The QC5200 part file contains all the part data and any steps recorded
during a programming session. A new part should be created prior to
recording a new program. Click the File/New/Part menu item to create
to create a new part.
Starting program recording
Click the Tools/Programming/Record menu item or the Record
button of the Programming toolbar to start recording measure-
ment activities.
Performing a skew and datum
The reference for all measurements is obtained by performing the Skew alignment and defining a datum.
The establishment of a measurement reference is described earlier in Chapter 5: Measuring. Please refer
to Chapter 5 for details.
Choosing a measurement programming method
Feature measurement steps can be added to the program by recording the user’s measurement activities, or
by importing features from a drawing file and using the Auto program function have the system create the
required measurement steps automatically.
Recording the user’s measurement activities
Once the program recording has been started, all probing and measurement steps will be recorded just
as the user performs them. The process of probing and measurement is described earlier in Chapter 5:
Measuring; the process of assigning tolerances is described earlier in Chapter 6: Tolerancing.
