Measurements
Measurement	Illustration
Volume Measures volume in XYZ space.
Area Measures area in the XY plane. The area is the number of valid points multiplied by the X and Y resolution. Note that this is different compared to the area calculations produced by Surface Segmentation and Surface Blob; for more information, see the descriptions of the Area {n} measurements in Segmentation and Blob.
Thickness Measures thickness (height) of a part.

Parameters
Parameter	Description
Source	The sensor, or combination of sensors, that provides data for the tool's measurements. For more information, see Source.
Region	The region to which the tool's measurements will apply. For more information, see Regions.
Location (Thickness measurement only)	One of the following: Max Min Average Median 2D Centroid (height of the centroid in the XY plane) 3D Centroid (height of the centroid in the XYZ space).
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, Y, or Z	Lets you choose the X, Y, or Z measurement of another tool to use as a positional anchor for this tool.
Z angle	Lets you choose the Z Angle measurement of another tool to use as an angle 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.
