Modern Software with Extensive Functionality
The PrismMaster® software offers an outstanding
range of features and contributes significantly
to the success of our product line:
- Proven, innovative algorithms allow for angle
measurements with unrivalled accuracy
(< 0.2 seconds of arc over 360°).
- Absolute measurement of polygons using
the rosette technique, with subsequent calibration
of rotary tables, rotary encoders,
and other rotating systems.
- Fast detection of reflection images, sorting
of distorting images, selection of the right
images.
In addition to angular measurement, the software
also calculates and analyses the individual
measurement results and uses the data to
optimize the measurement process. This eliminates,
for example, the time-consuming
alignment of prism surfaces to the autocollimator
axis.
The distinctive feature of the software is its intuitive,
menu-controlled user interface and a
variety of functions helping to simplify the
measurement:
- Preconfigured measurement procedures
for polygons, prisms, and other optical
components
- Adaptation of measurement procedure to
the type of test object: special settings for
very small prisms and prisms with anti-reflection
coatings
- Compensation for even the smallest inaccuracies
in positioning of the test object to
the optical axis of the autocollimator (horizon
determination)
- Calculation of pyramidal errors in different
modes
- Tilt error determination of individual surfaces
relative to the surface of the rotation table
- Calculation of the transmission angle after
measuring all angles in reflection (the refractive
index of the test sample material
must be known)
- Easy conversion of the software to a simplified
Production Mode
- Automated measurement process with tolerance
input and sorting function
- For high-precision measurements: the calibration
curve of the encoder is used for
correction of the measurement results
