In this chapter an example is used to describe the steps of a typical measuring
sequence. The steps range e.g. from aligning the measured object and measuring
the features through to creating the measurement report.
For a detailed description of the individual activities, please refer to the
"Measuring," "Measurement evaluation" and "Measurement reports"
chapters in the QUADRA-CHEK 2000 operating instructions.
Make sure that you have read and understood the "Basic Operation"
chapter before carrying out the actions described below.
The measurements shown here cannot be simulated with QUADRACHEK 2000 Demo, because the corresponding measuring point
acquisition is not possible without a measuring device and OED sensor.
However, you can use the descriptions to familiarize yourself with the
most important functions and the user interface.
For the measurement of edges and contours with an OED sensor, various
measuring tools are available to you for the acquisition of measuring points.
Further information: "Measuring tools", Page 40
Aligning the measured object
Before you can evaluate the measuring points, you need to align the measured
object. During this process, the coordinate system of the measured object
(workpiece coordinate system) is determined, which is specified in the technical
drawing.
This makes it possible to compare the measured values with the data in the
technical drawing and assess them.

Figure 13: Example of aligning a 2-D demo part
Measured objects are usually aligned in the following steps:
1 Measuring the alignment
2 Measuring a straight line
3 Constructing the zero point
The zero point is constructed from the point of intersection between the alignment
and the straight line.
Select Zero point in the geometry palette
Select the Alignment and Line features in the Inspector or in

This chapter describes how you can create your own measurement report
templates with QUADRA-CHEK 2000 Demo and transfer them to your unit so that
you can use the templates for creating measurement reports on your unit.
Make sure that you have read and understood the "Basic Operation"
chapter before carrying out the actions described below.
Further information: "Basic Operation", Page 17
Short description
In the Measurement report menu, you can create detailed reports for your
measuring tasks. You can document one or more measured features in a
measurement report. The measurement reports can be printed, exported and
saved. For the creation of measurement reports, you can choose between several
standard templates.
With the QUADRA-CHEK 2000 Demo PC software, you can create your own
report templates and then transfer them to your unit. Your own custom templates
then appear next to the standard templates in the Measurement report menu and
can be used for creating measurement reports.
