GagePort technology gives you two ways to collect readings from a measuring device:
When you use a measuring device to take one measurement – such as length, width, depth, height, etc. – and then enter this value into the program, this is known as a static reading.
This is the most commonly used method of entering data from a GagePort.
When you use a measuring device to take a continuous reading of a characteristic such as out-of-round, flatness, etc., this is known as a dynamic reading.
When you enter data in dynamic mode, the GagePort keeps track of the highest reading, the lowest reading, and the difference between the highest and lowest readings.
The method you use to enter data will depend on how your data entry session has been configured for GagePort data entry. For more information, see Setting Up a Template for GagePort Entry .
