Note that the distance between the Feature A and B offsets –– the

Nominal

value –– is 382.983 pixels. Note also that the

Scale

value is now 0.0026,

which is the ratio of the current

Dimension

value (1.000, the default value)

to the current

Nominal

value (382.983). Thus, 1

B382.983 = 0.0026 (this is

rounded to four places for display purposes only; the actual value, stored in
memory, is based on 32–bit floating point calculations).

To complete the scale computation, and thereby calibrate the distance
between the Feature A and B offsets to the “world units” distance of 2.000
inches (in this example), pick the

Dimension

field. When you do, the

“calculator pad” appears. Enter 2.000 in the calculator and pick the
button. At that point, the

Scale

value will be recomputed, and will appear as

“0.012” in the

Scale

field, as shown in Figure 3.17 (page 3–25).

After completing the scale computation for one calibration gage, repeat the
process for the other gage.

After completing the scale computation for both calibration gages, pick the

button to exit the

Calibrate

panel and return to the selected

Camera

setup panel. Subsequent linear measurements by gages using images from the
selected camera will be returned in inches (in this example).
