For more complicated measuring tasks, the procedure described above is no longer sufficient. The operator can therefore take over parts of the actually automatically running processes (set window, select feature) himself and gradually familiarise himself with the more detailed control of the measurement sequences. To support this, measurement points or scan lines are automatically distributed on the geometry elements to be measured, taking into account the necessary bypass paths. Measurement sequences specified in this way can be saved and called up as an automatic sequence in case of repetition.

The programming of the measurement sequences is supported by corresponding tools of the WinWerth® measurement software. The sensors are selected directly on the user interface of the multi-sensor coordinate measuring machine. A "feature tree" represents the test plan and thus the structure of the measuring programme in a tree-like structure. Here, the relationships between geometrical characteristics, geometrical elements and technology parameters such as sensor type, illumination setting, scanning speed, evaluation algorithm and valid alignment become visible. Parallel to the feature tree, the geometric features and the features with the associated measurement results are also displayed in the graphical representation of the measurement sequence and in the numerical measurement log. Link operations to geometric elements (intersection, intersection line) or geometrical characteristics (distance, perpendicularity) can be programmed either in the feature tree or in the graphical view.

The feature tree in the WinWerth® user interface also controls the test and change mode, in which programmes can be run step-by-step and changes can be added. A text editor, available in parallel, allows experienced operators to directly enter or change DMIS programme code while teaching in programmes. By selecting a programme section with the mouse, it can be defined as a loop for repeated processing or outsourced as a subroutine. With the aid of feature-oriented measurement, selected functionally relevant test dimensions can be determined.
