is assumed. Material in this guide is divided into five chapters covering
everything from basic operation to system configuration. Keep this
guide in a convenient location for future reference.
Chapter 1: Overview
It all begins here, just point and click. There are only two things in the
QC-5000 interface: windows and toolbars. This chapter tells you which
is which and what to do with them. Understanding each window and
toolbar helps you get the most from the QC-5000.
Chapter 2: Quick Start

greater detail elsewhere in this guide.
Chapter 3: Probes
If it’s about probes, it’s in this chapter. Learn to manage and calibrate
VED and touch probes using probe library. All data comes into the QC-
5000 through probes. Use the information in this chapter and you won’t
go wrong.
Chapter 4: Programming
Programming puts it all together. This chapter shows you how to create
a streamlined, computer-prompted procedure to handle repetitive inspections
with speed and accuracy. Use the programming feature to maximize
your productivity with the QC-5000.
Chapter 5: Templates & Tolerancing
Picking up where chapter 4 leaves off this chapter covers datum magic,
measure magic, layers, offset alignments, and tolerancing. The QC-5000
organizes and present data in a number of formats. For your convenience
there are several data templates you can use to organize and present your
results. Use this chapter to learn how to use templates more efficiently.
This chapter also describes how to export QC-5000 data to other software.
