Figure 7.122 uses the “pin connector” workpiece in Figure 7.121 to illustrate
an “
X ” direction profile display.
Figure 7.122 Example: “X” Direction Profile Display
“0” gray scale level
Profile display: Average
gray scale values of each
column of pixels
Profile
amplitude
Note that the “ X ” direction was selected for the pin connector in this example
because it is the appropriate choice for “profiling” the connector pins, which
are arrayed along the X axis. If the “
Y ” direction had been selected instead,
the profile display would appear as illustrated in Figure 7.123.
Figure 7.123 Example: “Y” Direction Profile Display
“0” gray scale level
Profile display: Average
gray scale values of each
row of pixels
Profile
amplitude
In this case, since the profile display is a graphic depiction of the average
gray scale value of each row of pixels within the profile window, it provides
no useful basis for measuring any of the features on the pin connector.
