The Digital Metrology Logo...

Many people have asked about the significance of the logo.  Furthermore, people have wondered "what is that big funny shaped letter 'E'?" or "what is the significance of the 0's and 1's?"  Here is the story behind the logo.

The capital Sigma "S" (which is the equivalent of an 'S', not an 'E') is used in mathematics to indicate a "summation" (or an addition) of many individual values, ultimately resulting in a single value. 

Measurement Implications

Digital Metrology Solutions is based on providing measurement solutions which, in effect, "summarize" the measurement process into a custom solution to a measurement need.  Often this involves the packaging of measurement technologies and the development of custom analysis tools.  Just as the 0's and 1's are covered by the Sigma - the expertise of Digital Metrology Solutions "covers" all of these aspects of the measurement process.

Data Analysis Implications

Whether you are measuring a three dimensional "map" of surface texture or scanning a feature on a CMM, today's measurements generating more and more data points.   These large data sets are almost impossible to interpret without additional processing - just as the 0's and 1's in the logo are very difficult to understand without some additional processing.  Digital Metrology Solutions can provide custom analysis capabilities which summarize these data points in a manner which relates directly to the customer's needs.  The Sigma over the binary numbers is a graphical metaphor of this process.

The Hidden Meaning of the 0's and 1's

The binary number under the Sigma are constructed from the ASCII values of the letters D, M, S as in Digital Metrology Solutions. D = 01000100, M = 01001101 and S = 01010011.  These binary numbers for DMS repeat twice starting in the upper left corner of the logo.

Conclusion

There you have it.  The Digital Metrology logo makes perfect sense.  Now to start making sense of your measurements contact Digital Metrology Solutions.
