About the Pinpoint Capture™ Software
Pinpoint Capture™ Software connects your computer or laptop to your Laser Microgage System. Readings taken from the Pinpoint Capture™ software are easily imported into popular spreadsheet programs such as Excel, Quattro-Pro, or other programs for statistical analysis, charting, plotting, and analysis functions. Pinpoint Laser Systems has a variety of applications for checking flatness, straightness and other geometric parameters and applications specificity tailored to different or various needs. A key feature of this software is its ability to record your measurement readings, either in a continuous mode (number of readings per second, minute, hour, etc.) or in trigger mode where you can add notes, select data, etc., for each reading event saved. Pinpoint Capture™ software lets you scale measurement readings, apply offsets, change units to millimeters, microns, or your own units, and view the readings in different formats. Limit settings and indicators are also available to assist in alignment steps.
The Pinpoint Capture™ software operates on Windows and loads easily from a compact disc. Pinpoint Capture™ arrives with a USB interface for Pinpoint Laser Microgage systems. Pinpoint Capture™ software is easy to load and use on the computer for selecting and collecting data.

In our ongoing effort to continuously add value to our customer’s systems, Pinpoint Laser Systems has application-specific data routines for our Capture™ software. These Capture™ routines are designed to aid Microgage users by streamlining the process of reporting, plotting, and performing specific data analysis and calculations for applications. These include straightness, parallelism, squareness, bore alignment, and industry-specific application for gantry alignment, marine shaft alignment, and other needs.
These routines are available for download and use for all Microgage users. While we have an expansive collection of programs we have highlighted two below for further research. If you don’t see an application relevant to your alignment or measurement needs, let us know! We are always creating specific applications for our customers based on their needs and we can create a routine for you.
