## PC-DMIS Laser: Introduction

This help file documents how to use PC-DMIS with your laser probe to measure features on a part or to collect data. Laser probes allow you to easily collect millions of points of data (called clouds of points). These clouds of points are then used within PC-DMIS for surface contour maps, export to reverse engineering packages and creation of constructed features and auto features. This help file discusses how to use PC-DMIS with a non-contact laser probe to collect and interpret those clouds of points.

PC-DMIS Laser supports these hardware configurations:

¨ Perceptron – Digital, V4, V4i, V4ix, and V5
¨ Metris – LC and XC
¨ CMS – 106 (for DCC) and 108 (for portable)
