Intro to SpatialAnalyzer Course


Benefits

Spatial Analyzer logWhether you do basic inspections with one 3-D instrument or manage an entire fleet of metrology devices and data, the questions are the same: how will you implement SpatialAnalyzer on the shop floor?  How can the engineering, tooling, and quality departments become more seamless with SA?  How can SA effectively analyze data and communicate results to your customers?

These are just a few of the key questions our Intro to SA course will answer.  We’ll take an in-depth look SA’s foundation, the Core Module.  You'll learn ways to eliminate multiple software platforms to gather and analyze measurements.  Minimize labor hours and support resources by simulating a measurement job at your desk before you ever fire up an instrument on-site.  Measure with multiple instruments in the same job.  Conduct real-time comparison of as-built parts to CAD.  When the job is finished, see how easy and clear reporting can be with one touch of a button.

Learning Objectives SA Screenshot

Acquire, analyze and report measurement data.  Generate traceable measurements.  Build, orient, and transform coordinate systems.  Evaluate points, geometries, and surfaces.  Import/export reference data and files.  Compare as-built to as-designed.  Perform station moves and automatic measurements.  Run simulated measurement jobs.  Measure with multiple instruments simultaneously in the same job.  Compare and analyze data from different instruments.  Explore various reporting options to determine which is best for the intended readers.
