indication why a measurement is carried out

sequence of steps to perform a measurement on a GMS. In most cases, this routine is done automatically or semi-automatically. It is also called a measurement plan or sequence.

set of one or more measuring instruments and often other devices, including any reagent and supply, assembled and adapted to give information used to generate measured quantity values within specified intervals for quantities of specified kinds.

workpiece of the machine which is worked on with the machine’s technology. This may be for the purpose of machining, measuring or others, depending on the machine type.

Note: Also, the term workpiece is used as a synonym in this Companion Specification.

element of a measuring system that is directly affected by a phenomenon, body, or substance carrying a quantity to be measured. A sensor in the scope of this Companion Specification is the primary element of a GMS that measures a geometric dimension.

Note: The sensor in this Companion Specification plays a similar role for the GMS as the tool in machine tools.

every further sensor except the primary sensor that carries out the geometric measurement

operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties and, in a second step, uses this information to establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication
