Chapter 1: Introduction
General Information
The Gage is a multiple-axis, articulated arm with a spherical working volume.
Each joint has a rotary encoder. The signals from these encoders are processed
and positional data sent through the USB communications cable, or Bluetooth
®
wireless connection, to the computer.
The Gage uses a non-volatile read/write FLASH memory. This memory stores
programming and some compensation data for the Gage. There are proprietary
methods that are capable of erasing, reading, and writing the FLASH memory.
These methods are used during manufacturing and field updating. Security for
the FLASH is limited to the anonymity of the access methods and the
unavailability of documentation for the address structure of the FLASH memory.
The only dynamic data stored in the Gage are settings which relate directly to the
operation of the Gage. Examples include the probe XYZ position, baud rate for
serial Gages, etc. The Gage does not maintain in memory, or cache, measurement
data of any type. Measurements recorded with the Gage are sent directly to the
properly connected computer.
