Probing part features
Probe the part features as discussed earlier in this chapter. As points are acquired they appear (in green)
in the Measure Profile window.
Probed points are typically entered from the Measure window, however, they can also be entered from the
Measure Profile window by clicking the Enter Pt button.
The last data points entered into the Measure Profile window can be removed by clicking the Remove
Last button. Multiple data points can be removed by repeatedly clicking the Remove Last button, until no
points remain.
Performing a fit operation
When all the required points for a profile measurement have been probed, press the Fit button at the
bottom of the Measure Profile window to perform the fit operation. Aditional points probed after a fit
operation will be shown as whiskers as a convenience for the user. However, these are only temporary and
approximate indications of the error values and will be replaced by precise error whiskers after the next fit
operation.
The results of the fit operation can be reset to review the positions of data points, remove data points or
change the degrees of freedom for the fit analysis (allow X, Y or A). Click the Reset button at the bottom
of the Measure Profile window to reset the last fit results and restore the data points to their original posi-
tions prior to the Fit operation.
Click the Cancel button at the bottom of the Measure Profile window to cancel the profile measurement
and close the Measure Profile window.
