Abstract

A method is disclosed for operating a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) including a CMM control system, a surface scanning probe that measures a workpiece surface by outputting probe workpiece measurements, and a probe measurement timing subsystem. The method comprises: operating the CMM control system to output a measurement synchronization trigger signal at predictable times; operating the probe measurement timing subsystem to determine a pre-trigger lead time that is a fraction of a current duration of a probe workpiece measurement sample period, to initiate a current instance of the probe measurement sample period at the pre-trigger lead time before a next predictable time of the measurement synchronization trigger signal; operating the CMM control system to latch a current set of CMM position coordinate values; and operating the surface scanning probe to output the current instance of the probe workpiece measurement in association with the current set of CMM position coordinate values.
