Feature Points
Dimensional and positional measurements detect feature points found within the defined measurement region and then compare measurement values taken at the selected point with minimum and maximum thresholds to produce a decision. Feature points are selected in one or more Feature dropdowns in a tool and are used for all of the tool's measurements.
The following types of points can be identified in a measurement region.
| Point Type | Examples |
|---|---|
|
Max Z Finds the point with the maximum Z value in the region of interest. |
|
|
Min Z Finds the point with the minimum Z value in the region of interest. |
|
|
Min X Finds the point with the minimum X value in the region of interest. |
|
|
Max X Finds the point with the maximum X value in the region of interest. |
|
|
Average Determines the average location of points in the region of interest. |
|
|
Corner Finds a dominant corner in the region of interest, where corner is defined as a change in profile slope. |
|
|
Top Corner Finds the top-most corner in the region of interest, where corner is defined as a change in profile shape. |
|
|
Bottom Corner Finds the bottom-most corner in the region of interest, where corner is defined as a change in profile shape. |
|
|
Left Corner Finds the left-most corner in the region of interest, where corner is defined as a change in profile shape. |
|
|
Right Corner Finds the right-most corner in the region of interest, where corner is defined as a change in profile shape. |
|
|
Rising Edge Finds a rising edge in the region of interest (moving from left to right). |
|
|
Falling Edge Finds a falling edge in the region of interest (moving from left to right). |
|
|
Any Edge Finds a rising or falling edge in the region of interest. |
|
|
Median Determines the median location of points in the region of interest. |
