- 30. Reporting
- 31. ArchivingSA TRACEABILITY SA Measured Points (Targets):Targets maintain measurement traceability within their individual observationsTargets maintain a record about who and what measured them, when and how they were measured, and hold the raw measurement data from the instrument.Targets, because they are tied to instrument measurements, cannot be created through typical point construction or analysis methods--they must be measured. (There is, however, a way to create targets through measurement simulation) Steps within a survey are recorded in a log file that stays with the file.

- 42. SA ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIP FITTING« Advanced and unique spatial transformation capability » Ideal for CAD-to-Part comparison.
- 43. Ideal for assembly.
- 44. Simultaneous alignments of multiple objects (point group, surfaces, lines, planes, cylinders, etc).
- 45. The user can weight each relationship individually relative to its importance to the part / tool performance requirements. This is « real » alignment and « real » assembly. The user can set fit constraints and SA will automatically weight each relationship.SA ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIP FITTING Classic optimization: Best-Fit, Points to Points Best-Fit, Points to Surfaces Relationship optimization Points to Points Points to Objects Objects to Objects Point Groups to Objects Point Groups to Point Groups Point Clouds to Objects Frame to Frame Object to Object Direction
- 46. SA ULTIMATE USMN« Unified Spatial Metrology Network – understand and optimize network uncertainty USMN brings all of the instruments into one common network and creates a point group that represents the network as a whole.
- 47. Traditional methods use a best-fit approach error stack-up affects the instrument positions greatly.
- 48. USMN uses instrument uncertainty and advanced optimization algorithms to simultaneously solve for all instrument positions.
- 49. USMN removes the error stack up and increases the accuracy of the instrument network.REVERSE DESIGN, ENGINEERINGPoint clouds
