Chapter 8: Configuring the Quantum in CAM2 Measure
• Distance Interval: press the green Front button, or the G key, to start
the distance interval. Collect a single reading when the probe moves a
distance. Choose this option, enter the distance value and press OK.
• Time Interval: press the green Front button, or the G key, to start the
time interval. Collect a single reading over time. Choose this option,
enter the time value and press OK.
NOTE: If the current probe is a Laser Line Probe, it is best to use the TIME
I
NTERVAL setting with a very small time interval. Setting the time interval to 0ms
collects point data at the Quantum’s maximum speed.
Measuring with the Quantum
Click the green Front button to collect a point reading. Click the red Back button
to accept the collected readings, which is the Sampled End Click.
When measuring with a ball probe , the location of the center of the probe
records as a point each time you press the green Front button. Because each
probe has a known diameter, there is a known distance between the center of the
probe and the outer edge of the probe. This distance needs to be specified
(projected) for the point to record in the correct location.
The distance between the probe point of contact with the surface being
measured and the center of the probe is known as Probe Offset . This
transfer of the point from the center of the probe to the correct location is known
as probe compensation.
