Software

PrismMaster® Software

Measuring Process of a Standard Sample

There is no easier way of achieving an immediate and ultra-accurate angle value of plano-optic components. The new software provides fully automated measurement of standard prisms and polygons:

  • Prism Configurator for the easy definition of non-standard and compound prisms

  • Software-automated sample tilt compensation (emulated tilt table) for quick and precise measurement of prism angles and pyramidal errors without laborious adjustments

  • Input of tolerance ranges and pass/fail classifications

  • Evaluation, display and recording of the measurement results according to ISO
