Before Geomet can measure or construct features, there
must exist an active qualified stylus tip. The management
of all stylus attached to the CMM is handled by the
Stylus Manager. Through the Stylus Manager, the
relationship between all qualified stylus is maintained
which allows the use of multiple stylus during the part
inspection without loss of data.
