The system features an LCD monitor, 2D measurements and controls, plus integrated direct camera input that provides "live feed" video display. Parts and video measuring routines are displayed in one line of sight, on one screen. Automated video edge detection is also offered. The system is said to be ergonomically designed with intuitive, touch screen functions and graphical icons, is easy to learn, use, and install.
The QC300 has enhanced programming features such as alpha-numeric program naming, user messages, and "arrow to target" stage directions to operator. The automatic point entry, based on stage movement to the correct position, provides faster measuring throughput and with the auto edge detection option, operator subjectivity is also removed, greatly reducing errors.
Four video tools are offered with the integrated video edge detection option:
? Straight Crossline - which allows operator to select edge position
? Offset Crossline - for locating difficult edges
? Single Edge - automatically finds a point along an edge within a circular target
? Multi-Edge - arrow targets direct stage positioning for multiple points along an edge

Multiple feature types are also provided with the QC300, such as Measuring Magic and constructions, allowing complex parts to be measured with ease. Tolerance displays translate data-intensive reports into at-a-glance visual displays. The system will also record measuring routines and store them as a program.
The QC300 has interfaces to USB ports for computers and printers, RS-232 for serial communication, and an I/O port for interface to lights sources. BNC and S-Video connections are also provided with the video edge detection option.
