Adding and Configuring a Measurement Tool

Adding a tool adds all of the tool's measurements to the Tools panel. You can then enable and configure the measurements selectively.

To add and configure a tool:

Go to the Scan page by clicking on the Scan icon.

Choose Profile or Surface mode in the Scan Mode panel.

If one of these modes is not selected, tools will not be available in the Measure panel.

Go to the Measure page by clicking on the Measure icon.

In the Tools panel, select the tool you want to add from the drop-down list of tools.

Click on the Add button in the Tools panel.

The tool and its available measurements are added to the tool list. The tool parameters are listed in the area below the tool list.

(Optional) If you are running a dual-sensor system, choose the sensor that will provide data to the measurement tool in Source.

For more information on sources, see Source.

(Optional) If the measurement is a profile measurement running on a section, and you have created more than one section, choose the section that will provide data to the measurement in Stream.

For more information on streams, see Stream.

Select a measurement at the bottom of the tool panel.
