Intersect

The Intersect tool determines intersect points and angles.

The Intersect tool's measurements require two fit lines, one of which is a reference line set to the X axis (z = 0), the Z axis (x = 0), or a user-defined line.

For information on adding, managing, and removing tools and measurements, as well as detailed descriptions of settings common to most tools, see Tools Panel.

Measurements, Features, and Settings

Measurements
Measurement	Illustration
X Finds the intersection between two fitted lines and measures the X axis position of the intersection point.
Z Finds the intersection between two fitted lines and measures the Z axis position of the intersection point.
Angle Finds the angle subtended by two fitted lines.

Features
Type	Description
Intersect Point	The point of intersection.
Line	The intersect line.
Base Line	The base line.

Parameters
Parameter	Description
Source	The sensor, or combination of sensors, that provides data for the tool's measurements. For more information, see Source.
Stream	The data that the tool will apply measurements to. This setting is only displayed when data from another tool is available as input for this tool.
Reference Type	Determines the type of the reference line. X-Axis: The reference line is set to the X axis. Z-Axis: The reference line is set to the Z axis Line: The reference line is defined manually using the Ref Line parameter. One or two regions can be used to define the line.
Line	You can use one or two fit areas for the fit line. To set the region (or regions) of the fit line, adjust it graphically in the data viewer, or expand the feature using the expand button () and enter the values in the fields. For more information on regions, see Regions. For more information on fit lines, see Fit Lines.
Ref Line	Used to define the reference line when Line is selected in the Reference Type parameter. To set the region (or regions) of the reference line, adjust it graphically in the data viewer, or expand the feature using the expand button () and enter the values in the fields. For more information on regions, see Regions. For more information on fit lines, see Fit Lines.
Angle Range (Angle measurement only)	Determines the angle range. The options are: -90 – 90 0 – 180
Filters	The filters that are applied to measurement values before they are output. For more information, see Filters.
Decision	The Max and Min settings define the range that determines whether the measurement tool sends a pass or fail decision to the output. For more information, see Decisions.

Anchoring
Anchor	Description
X or Z	Lets you choose the X or Z measurement of another tool to use as a positional anchor for this tool.

A measurement must be enabled in the other tool for it to be available as an anchor. The anchor measurement should also be properly configured before using it as an anchor.

For more information on anchoring, see Measurement Anchoring.
