Location of probed points
The repartition of the points is as important as the number of point.
The way to locate the points must follow the functionality of the feature.
For example, a plane should be measure with at least 5 points as the following picture
In a generic way, the location of the points must respect a uniform repartition of them, not to favour one
area of the feature to the detriment of another one.
Probe guidance
Some software provide special functions, to guide the user to
take points at the predetermined location. This may be helpful
to probe a very thin circle for example, or to search for a specific
XYZ coordinate …
A sound is then emitted, and the point is taken as soon as the
probe is inside the guide tolerance.
For those functions and for any other case, it may be useful to
manually guide the end of the probe (= the tip) with at second
hand, to locate it accurately. The closer the hand is to the tip of the probe, the more stable the measurement
will be, and the more accurate the location will be.
