<p>A CMM control system (16) which presents a three-dimensional graphic representation (80) to the operator showing the active probe tip (56, 62, 74) recognized by the CMM software. The controller software determines whether a motorized probe head (64) is present and the exact location the probe tip. By using three-dimensional vector graphic routines, the controller software presents a graphic display (100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150) of the probe relative to the machine's coordinate system. This technique minimizes the occurrence of measurement errors which could be introduced by the unwary operator who inadvertently used CMM data taken with an unrecognized probe tip.</p> |
