QUINDOS Basic - Graphical Interface



HEXAGON Software: QUINDOS Basic

 Graphical Interface
New, but still familiar


The mass of information makes a good user interface compulsory. The partitioning as well as the size of the QUINDOS graphical interface is freely selectable by the user. Customised layouts can be saved as snapshots for use at a later date.

The program text appears in a modern, multi-colour text editor with spell checker and drag-anddrop functionality. Automatic completion helps to find the correct command syntax, while automatic insert helps to complete a line of code.

Individual commands and parameters can be modified using customized dialogue pages. The dialogues are dynamic and are modified in real time by the user inputs.

Depending on the current command, a selection of icons appropriate to the next command will be presented.

The database browser can be used to access all object types (Elements, coordinate systems, procedures, tools etc.) for viewing or editing. Nothing is hidden from the user.

Error handling has always been a strength of QUINDOS. This has now been improved using error lists and error helps for more transparency

When used in connection with a machine, every point taken is used to recalculate the element and refresh the deviations visual. If a CAD model is not available, the element surface is created using the measured points.

For advanced programming, the experienced user can use the Dialog Editor to create customized input dialogs, utilizing photos, drawings and graphics (a special SVG Editor is integrated into QUINDOS for this purpose). These tools can be used to create a user-specific graphical interface to make the operator’s job easier.

HEXAGON Metrology Software QUINDOS - Coordinate metrology software QUINDOS is the most powerful analysis tool for many types of coordinate measuring devices and differing applications, mainly in power plant, automotive, aircraft and machine tool powertrain industries. The database structure contains all of the measurement data, making it available for further processing and reporting. A host of very special functions improves the efficiency of measuring process. The QUINDOS Basic license includes all of the functions necessary to measure standard parts such as crankcases, gearboxes, etc. It goes without saying that all of the form and position evaluations, freely-programmable plot routines, generation of moving path information and more are all included in the basic license. In addition to the Basic license more than 50 options are available for handling special part geometries and other functional extensions. CAD options Gears Gear cutting tools Worm gears and worm w

QUINDOS Basic - Process Planning Using CAD

HEXAGON Metrology Software Process planning using CAD Intelligent methodology for more profitability The most noticeable new feature of QUINDOS is the CAD core. The part geometry can be represented and manipulated (zoom, rotate, pan) in 3D. This functionality is available not only for CAD models but also in the more traditional teach-in mode. Point patterns can be generated interactively and measured points can be represented with their corresponding deviations and calculated element. The QUINDOS basic program can be used to represent nominal and actual points on the calculated surface. Even without a CAD model, all of the measured elements can be represented spatially. The CAD-Basic option makes it possible to generate moving path information for geometrical elements. The SafetyBox takes care of collision-free travel between elements (with and without CAD model). Every geometric element is assigned to a group of surfaces which in turn can be used to make sele

QUINDOS Basic - Measurement Analysis

HEXAGON Metrology Software Measurement analysis  The right tools for every task From day one, QUINDOS was developed for use on precision measuring machines with scanning functionalities. The mathematical algorithms are implemented accordingly. There are various types of calculation methods which can be applied to turn measured points into elements (e.g. inscribed, exscribed, least squares etc.). Furthermore, individual element parameters can be fixed and the resulting element calculated accordingly. As well as the standard geometrical elements, ellipse, ellipsoid, parabola and paraboloide algorithms are also implemented. For form testing with either dedicated form testers or scanning CMMs, points can be filtered using either high or low pass filters or Fourier analysis. All of the information pertaining to the feature is stored in a transparent database system for further analysis. Logical decisions can be made which can control the further analysis of the meas
