Abstract:
This document describes the implementation specifics of the surface roughness instrument (SRI) controller program. The SRI is part of the inspection workstation (IWS) in the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) in the Center for Manufacturing Engineering at the National Bureau of Standards. The AMRF and IWS are rapidly developing systems with continually evolving software. This report describes the SRI Controller program in place in March 1987. However, certain more recent features are highlighted where appropriate. This program runs under the control of the ECS program described in the document Implementation of the Execution Control System of the Inspection Workstation. The SRI Controller program consists of state machine modules that "customize" the controller for its particular application--i.e. supervising the SRI.
