Optima App Microtech for Windows — measurement data collection and export software, multiconnect support

Optima App Microtech for Windows is a Windows-based application designed to collect, synchronise and export measurement data from Microtech instruments for shop-floor and laboratory use.

• Centralised data collection and export
• Connect up to 8 instruments simultaneously
• Exports to CSV, XLS and PDF formats
• Autoconnection and mm/inch conversion

Streamline measurement routines with centralised data handling

The software provides a centralised data-collection backbone that removes repetitive data entry and reduces transcription errors. By automatically detecting connected instruments and offering autoconnection and synchronised data reading, the application shortens cycle times and improves throughput. The built-in zero-setting and device filtering preserve traceability while the user manager allows role-based operation on a single PC, making the system suitable for routine quality checks as well as small-scale production environments.

Export to common systems and secure process documentation

Designed for interoperability, the solution supports on-line export to external programmes such as Excel, SAP and SolidWorks and saves results in csv, xls and pdf formats. Export settings are adjustable (dot/comma, symbols) to match regional conventions, and graphical output can be saved as PNG for reports. These capabilities enable straightforward archival of measurement series and faster transfer into SPC workflows, ensuring measurement results feed directly into downstream analysis without additional conversion steps.

Flexible connectivity and ergonomic operation at the bench

Installation on Windows 7–11 enables immediate use on standard workshop PCs. The app supports up to eight instruments simultaneously and accepts up to two USB dongles for wireless connectivity. Optional footswitch and button integration (USB or WIRELESS) allows hands-free data capture and zero setting, speeding up repetitive measurements. The combination of wired and wireless modes, together with mm/inch conversion and Go/NoGo functions, makes the setup adaptable to varied measurement tasks on the shop floor.

Clear visualisation and configurable measurement workflows

A graphical mode and timer simplify the interpretation of measurement sequences, while resolution selection helps tailor data precision to the task. The software also includes energy-saving and filtering modes to keep operations efficient and focused on recognised Microtech instruments. Multilanguage support broadens usability across international teams and the capability to save graphs and structured data streamlines documentation, helping to integrate small workshops into more disciplined quality systems.
