What is Ease of Use Software

7/23/2018

​Today the term easy to use is bandy about by everyone when the speak of their software, and leaves it up to determine what they mean by the statement, and various feature can be used to back up their statements, but in real life you need to determine what ease of use for you and your company.  The following are some of the things that can be used in your ability to determine ease of use
  1. Automatic feature recognition:  In todays world while CAD files are prevalent they are still not available on many parts, this is particularly important if you intend to do reverse engineering.    In this area what is important is to not have to continually go back to the keyboard, screen or joystick to close out features or predetermine the number of points you want to take to determine how to define the feature.  The software should allow you to move seamlessly to the next feature you are measuring and provide a audible sound so the users knows he has closed one feature and moved on to the next
  2. The ability to export to a Standard CAD format.  This should be standard on your software and easy to do so that after you have measured your program from an unknown part you are able to save the data from the part and export it easily to your CAD system to allow you to create a CAD file form the data easily, this should not be tie to an add on or extra
  3. Allows easy programming with standard CAD inputs such as IGES and STEP, with the ability to create part programs by simply clicking on the features to be measured
  4. Support Multiple Sensors, such as Touch Probe, Scanning Probe and Vision or Camera options using the same basic package so there is no special or additional training needed
  5. Simplified user interface, that allows an operator to be come proficient in a 2 to 3 days, contrary to one or two weeks required on many software packages
  6. Training is done on site as part of the purchase so that you learn on your parts and avoid the operator frustration that arises from learning on a standardize part at an offsite class room and then having to implement the knowledge on your parts
  7. Lifetime Support and upgrades, if the software is simple the questions that will arise are few, so why should you pay for support if the software is that simple to use
 
Keep these items in mind when looking for a CMM or CMM upgrade and you will find that Aberlink Mark IV meets all of these requirements easily
