Patent ID: 8630826

Claim:
A method for controlling probe measurement using an electronic device, the method comprising: reading preset identification data of a probe from a preset configuration file of the probe upon the condition that the preset configuration file is stored in a storage device of the electronic device, the probe being electronically connected to an object measuring machine that is connected with the electronic device; receiving user-defined identification data of the probe from an input device of the electronic device upon the condition that the preset configuration file is not stored in the storage device; fitting a three dimensional (3D) model of the probe according to the preset identification data or the user-defined identification data of the probe, and displaying a fitted 3D model of the probe on a display device of the electronic device; determining if the fitted 3D model of the probe matches a reference 3D model of the probe; updating the user-defined identification data of the probe through the input device upon the condition that the fitted 3D model of the probe does not match the reference 3D model of the probe; and storing the user-defined identification data of the probe in a user-defined configuration file corresponding to the probe upon the condition that the fitted 3D model of the probe matches the reference 3D model of the probe, and controlling the probe to execute measurement according to the user-defined configuration file.
