Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CMM Software

I'm don't know about other software, however I've been toying with the idea of capturing data from the encoders.
My new DRO has a serial output and it would be easy to send data to the PC from it.
I'm interested in the "Renishaw probe" where can I find more data ? I'd like to see how it works...
Best Regards
