Not personally, but I know a few people that tried it.
Seems to be interesting. Their philosophy is different. Most CMM softwares start with an empty program and you add features to it (you may or may not pick those features right from the model). Software like the Demons is fundamentally additive.
PAS is different. They start with the model and automatically generate code that measures EVERYTHING (based on some simple rules that you control). So if you need a complete FAI program, it seems very promising. Also, the DMIS it creates appears to be clean. Now if you do NOT have to measure ALL features, you subtract them from your program. So fundamentally, PAS is subtractive (is that a word???).
Both approaches have pros and cons. But PAS has been really working hard to address the cons of their software. From what I hear, it is certainly at a level now where people ought to take it seriously.
