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 number 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 measurement
application.

PDM saves measurement data product-related and not meas-
urement application related.
Convenient administration
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 applications.
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 applications.
These procedures affect all products that are linked to a meas-
urement application.
