Apparatus for measuring or inspecting an object in a coordinate measurement machine (CMM). The apparatus includes a frame having a reference table for supporting the object and a robotics unit secured to the frame. The robotics unit has a probe which generates output signals when the probe contacts the object, and the output signals are sent to a machine control unit which controls the robotics unit and calculates and displays results of inspections. The control unit is programmed to operate the CMM in predetermined ways responsive to DMIS or other widely-used syntax, without translating the DMIS syntax into another language or syntax.
