Measuring Part Lead

I have been asked to measure lead on a cylindrical machined surface. Is PC-DMIS capable of this measurement, and if so how would you go about programming the measurement?

    Thanks for the response. The outside cylinder is 3.1476 inches in diameter. There is a 2" length of the outer cylinder that calls for no lead. The lead angle us to be 0 degrees + or - .05. They call for a string test for this feature but that seems barbaric when I have a CMM with analog scanning capabilities next to me.
