Looking into diffferent ways of continously making stats about how much a CMM is running. I know Hexagon has a box and software for the task, it sounded like it was cloud based though, which is not a viable solution. It sounded like you could get it to give an electrical signal.
Is there anything in the software besides the events that could be used to this end?
Both, might as well dig out what I can while in there. My layout right now is to extract calibration and program running time through events in PC-DMIS, and physical running and temperature through timed events.
