Optimet is glad to announce an enhancement of multiple sensor integration capability. This option is applicable for various Optimet sensors. Based on this enhancement, Optimet recently completed a successful integration of multiple sensors in an in-process inspection solution. This capability enables a simultaneous profile and thickness measurement for high precision on-line inspection using synchronized multiple NanoConoprobe sensors at 3000Hz each.

All sensors operate on one PC in a single software application, using one hub, without requiring any additional hardware. The software DLL permits a different set-up for each or all sensors and simultaneous data acquirement.

A multiple sensor software emulator is available for download from Optimet website [http://www.optimet.com/support/point_sensors.htm]. The multiple sensor emulator enables the user to integrate, simulate and test multiple sensor operation prior to having the actual hardware in hand for a considerable time and cost saver.
In order to simplify the integration, Optimet provides an automatic IP functionality for Optimet sensors. Each sensor has a unique IP address, thus preventing IP clashes between the Ethernet sensors without any special configuration.

This multi sensor enhancement allows Optimet to provide its customers with a wider range of metrological solutions, especially for in-process inspection. Such capabilities include multi profiling 3-D and thickness measurements.
