Getting More from PC-DMIS: Training for Experienced Programmers

Experienced CMM programmers benefit from training delivered by experts who provide informed, practical insight that builds on their existing knowledge. Our software training provides the opportunity to compare methods, explore newer functionality and discuss alternative approaches with an applications engineer who works with PC-DMIS every day.

PC-DMIS continues to evolve and each release brings tools designed to make programming faster, more efficient and easier to manage. The challenge for busy programmers is not capability, it is about finding the time to review each development and decide which features will add value and save time.

Here at Status our training team start with how you work, the components you inspect and the equipment you use, then share relevant ideas and demonstrate practical ways to get more from the software already in place.

Building on Existing Expertise

Experienced programmers reactive great training from experts and provide informed, practical insight that adds to your expertise. Our software training is designed to offer the opportunity to compare methods, explore newer functionality and discuss alternative approaches with someone who works with PC-DMIS every day.

Features such as Optimizer, Selection capture from file and the various Control and Shift functions are examples of functionality that can streamline programming. The objective is not to change a proven method for the sake of it. It is to identify where the current version of PC-DMIS can remove unnecessary steps, improve consistency and support a more efficient workflow.

Turning Software Updates into Everyday Gains

When production is waiting for inspection results, there is little opportunity to explore every software release in depth. Established methods stay in place because they are proven, even when newer tools now make part of the process faster or simpler.

A focused session brings the relevant developments together and applies them directly to your day-to-day work. This gives experienced programmers practical gains, including:

• faster programme creation and editing
• fewer manual or repeated steps
• more consistent programming methods across the team
• greater confidence when applying newer functions
• better use of your existing investment in software and equipment.

These improvements become part of everyday programming and continue to deliver value across every relevant component and programme.

PC-DMIS Training Shaped Around Your Team

No two metrology teams use PC-DMIS in exactly the same way. Effective training begins with the work already being done: the team’s experience, equipment, components, inspection requirements and priorities.

The Status training team can focus on new functionality, specific programming challenges, scanning, advanced techniques or areas where the team wants to improve efficiency. Our applications engineers work alongside your programmers to review existing approaches, demonstrate alternatives and share methods that fit the job.

This consultative approach also supports people whose responsibilities have developed. An operator originally trained to run existing programmes who now modifies or creates them is performing a different role. Targeted training offers the skills required for that role, without repeating content they have already mastered.

PC-DMIS Training from Status Metrology

At Status Metrology, we provide PC-DMIS training from operator level through to advanced programming and scanning, including Level 1, Level 2 and bespoke training. Each session can be tailored around current knowledge, equipment and inspection work.

For experienced programmers, the purpose is clear: to add to existing expertise with current knowledge, practical ideas and relevant functionality that supports faster, more effective programming.
