Measurement Software
Nikon Corporation, Brighton, MI, has launched the newest version of NEXIV software “AutoMeasure.” Some new features: When creating a measurement program, the next command candidate is suggested on the GUI. Auto Focus (AF) Retry prevents measurement interruption by automatically retrying AF until it is successful. When using a CAD reference macro, the optimal measurement order for measurement points is automatically detected and reflected in the measurement program.
