Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS) provides the vocabulary to pass inspection programs to dimensional measuring equipment and to pass measurement and process data back to an analysis, collection, or archiving system.

You can output certain model information to the CMM output file. To do this, you must setup the DMIS text data. While you setup the DMIS text data, you can choose to output the model information to the CMM screen, CMM outfile, or to the CMM operator. You can also choose not to output certain information for a model.
