(See Figures Appendix for example of use of C001)
Code identifying the broad category to which a measurement applies
Code identifying a specific product or process characteristic to which a measurement applies
The value of the measurement
MEA04 defines the unit of measure for MEA03, MEA05, and MEA06.
The value specifying the minimum of the measurement range
When citing dimensional tolerances, any measurement requiring a sign (+ or -), or any measurement where a positive (+) value cannot be assumed, use MEA05 as the negative (-) value and MEA06 as the positive (+) value.
The value specifying the maximum of the measurement range
Code used to benchmark, qualify or further define a measurement value
Code used to express an attribute response when a numeric measurement value cannot be determined
Code indicating the product surface, layer or position that is being described
The method or device used to record the measurement
