•
P&P Gages –– The button activates the pick and place function
for the highlighted sub–gage. Each time a sub–gage is ”picked and
placed,” its results value in the list box is automatically recalculated.
For details about this function, see Chapter 5, Pick and Place Functions.
•
Ranges –– The button accesses the range–selection panel, which
defines inspection result limits for the highlighted sub–gage.
NOTE: Range limits set for one sub–gage are independent of range
limits set for any other sub–gage. Also, range limits do not apply to the
Multiple Gages tool itself –– only to the sub–gages.
•
Feature A, Feature B –– The buttons accesses the “feature,” or
edge selection panels for the respective features of the highlighted
sub–gage. This function is accessible only for the
X Position , Y
Position , and Linear Measure operations.
•
Done –– When you pick the button, the system exits back to the
toolset edit panel.
A multiple gages tool can be selected when the toolset edit panel is on the
screen. Starting from the main menu bar, the selection path to this panel is as
follows: Editors
→ Configuration → Setup → Tools. This selection path
is shown by the example in Figure 7.1 (page 7–2).
Here is a summary list of the basic selection and configuration steps for each
sub–gage in a multiple gages tool, listed in their normal order of
performance:
1. Create (”Add”) a new sub–gage or “Copy” and “Paste” an existing one in
the Sub–Gage results list box.
2. Highlight the sub–gage to be configured.
3. Select the sub–gage operation.
4. Select the sub–gage direction.
5. “Pick and place” the sub–gage.
6. Adjust the edge detection parameters.
7. Learn the result value.
8. Select the appropriate result limit ranges.
9. Select a sub–gage label (optional).
NOTE: The following functional restrictions apply to sub–gages:
•
Since they can operate only in the gray scale gaging mode, they cannot
perform the
White Pixels and Black Pixels operations.
•
Their shape can only be linear, and their orientation can only be horizontal
(pointing right) or vertical (pointing down).
•
They cannot use a rotational reference tool (if one is assigned, a “clip
fail” error will occur, and the “
Results ” value will be all zeros.
