MASTER

PC-DMIS will consider the measured data obtained the first time the scan is being learned as nominal data. Subsequent executions of this scan will be compared with this measured data.

1

FINDNOMS

When the FIND NOMS option is selected, PC-DMIS will pierce the CAD model to find the closest location on a CAD surface to the measured point. It will then set the nominals to the location found on the CAD surface.

2

NOMINALS

PC-DMIS will use any measured data the first time it performs the scan as nominal data. This option allows you to relearn the scan without relearning the nominals.
