Not Sure Which Solutions Will Help You Most?
After some initial setup, the software is extremely automated. Prolink has user guides to cover nearly any situation for gathering measurement data and if they don't their support has been excellent. The SPC charts update immediately after finishing a measurement routine and it is readily apparent when there are issues with a dimension. Reporting and export is a nice feature that provides a better interface than the measurement system's software does.
The ease of integration with our machine made this an easy choice. Prolink really did their homework when it comes to working with any machine their customers could be using.
