Chapter 4: Basic Part Measurements (Metrology Mode)
There are two additional report formats in FARO Gage:
Excel
and
SPC
. Use these to create
output files that can easily be imported to other applications for data analysis.
Both the Excel and SPC formats will create .csv text files. They are both saved automatically
to C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\APPLICATION DATA\FARO\CAM2
MEASURE\EXCEL.
If you choose the Excel report, the name format will be partname~serialnumber.csv with the
corresponding part name and serial number for the reported part. Choosing the SPC report
will generate a file called "spcout.csv". Every report you generate using the SPC option will
append to this file. The "spcout.csv" file can be imported and parsed using the most common
SPC/database management applications.
To generate CSV output files, repeat the reporting exercise and choose Excel and/or SPC
instead of Tabular.
