Administration and Result Documentation
PDM (Product Data Management) is a supplementary software module to WinFTM BASIC
or LIGHT. The PDM software features the following functions:
Function Description
Setting up new products
linked to an existing
measurement application

A measurement application may be linked to any num-
ber of products (1:n assignment). Thus, each edit of a
measurement application affects all products that are
linked to it.

With PDM, each product (a file that contains, among
other things, the measurement results) is saved in a
freely selectable folder. You can copy your products into
different folders and sort them according to supplier,
customer and part number.

The operator only needs the product designation for the
test order, and not necessarily knowledge of the mea-
surement application.

PDM saves measurement data product-related and not
measurement application related.
Convenient administra-
tion of measurement
applications

You can set up new measurement applications based
on an existing definition file (Def.MA).

You can edit, copy and delete measurement applica-
tions. With PDM, these procedures affect all products
that are linked to a measurement application. When
copying a product, the measurement application is not
duplicated, instead it is retained.

You can normalize and calibrate measurement applica-
tions. These procedures affect all products that are
linked to a measurement application.
