A drawn, magenta line is completed. This is the object’s length. TargetPro
also quantitatively states the contact’s length in the Length field of the
Target-Debris fields of the Cursor Status window.
3.4.4 Measure Object Echo
Use this mensuration function to measure a contact’s width.
To measure a contact’s width, do the following:
1. Activate the Measurement Tool (choose Tools
→Measure from the main
menu or the Measurement Tool icon from the taskbar of icons).
2. Choose the Measure Object Echo method of mensuration.
3. Drag your pointer over the contact in the across-track direction. The
system draws a green line.
4. When you have finished measuring, left-click once to end the line.
The line drawn is green when completed. TargetPro also quantitatively
states the contact’s width in the Width field of the Target-Debris portion of
the Cursor Status window.
3.4.5 Measure Object Shadow
Use this mensuration function to measure an object’s shadow or height.
To measure a contact’s shadow, do the following:
1. Drag across a contact’s shadow. The system draws a cyan line.
2. When you have finished measuring, left-click once to end the line.
The line drawn is cyan when completed. TargetPro also quantitatively
states the contact’s height in the Height field of the Target-Debris portion of
the Cursor Status window.
A fully mensurated contact might look like the sample shown in Figure 14.
The data for that mensurated sample are shown in Figure 14, to show you
typical values that can appear in Target-Debris fields of the Cursor Status
window.
