How to Look Closely – and Still Deliver on Time

Our client develops high-precision laser trackers – mobile measurement systems that measure within sub-millimeter accuracy over distances up to 160 m. For the new Absolute Distance Measurement (ADM) option, the existing prototype software needed to be made deployment-ready:

• functionally extended
• structurally revised
• performance optimized
• thoroughly tested

All under tight time constraints. In addition, a PC tool for firmware updates had to be developed – including configuration, logging, and a user interface. The project required developers with DSP expertise, embedded systems experience, and strong skills in C++, C#, and .NET.

Our specialists were temporarily integrated into the on-site development team. They brought fresh expertise to the project – and helped ensure the ADM option was ready for production on time.

The result:

• Reliable ADM functionality in the production system
• Delivery of the enhanced laser trackers as scheduled
• Future-proofing through clean architecture and robust tools

Optimizing the ADM Function – From the Ground Up:
We modularized the original prototype, refactored it using object-oriented principles, and embedded it into the existing software landscape. Bugs were fixed, algorithms accelerated, and the DSP BIOS was configured with precision. In addition, we implemented logging, error handling, and configuration management.

Firmware Updater – From Concept to Final Test:
The tool enables automated updates and parameter adjustments for the laser trackers.

• Developed in C# .NET
• Console or GUI mode, depending on usage
• XML-based configuration
• Integrated via existing COM components

We handled the complete implementation – from specification through design and development to final testing.
