Some companies cover parameter settings with work instructions, or standard operating procedures, or some other similar documents. They define how many points to take for each feature based on the type, size, tolerance, etc. Technically my work place has such work instructions, but they weren't written well so us CMM programmers just ignore them and muddle through.
Unfortunately, we are transitioning from a manager who's motto was to make the programs as simple and fast running as possible to a new manager who's motto is to be as thorough as possible. To further complicate the matter, each of our customers have different expectations as well. It's always a guessing game trying to predict what will make everyone happy, or at least make everyone appeased.
