Description
2.5 Gage concept
In order to measure, a Batch (file)
and
a suitable Calibration (reference) must
be created in the gage for the Measuring Application. A description of the
terms measuring application, batc h and calibration can be found in Chapter
"Glossary".
The essential content of the batch and calibration files and their relationship to
each other are shown schematically in the following illustration:
A measuring application is defined in the gage by a batch file and a calibration file
and their linking to each other.
Measuring application
Batch
(settings)
•
Limit monitoring
•
Grouping of measured read-
ings
•
Offset value

(automatic after placement
the probe on the sample,
manual)
•
