Here is a summary list of the basic gage selection and configuration steps,
listed in their normal order of performance. These steps are common to all
gage operations (except as noted):
1. Select gage operation.
2. Select the gage shape.
3. Select gaging mode.
4. “Pick and place” the gage.
5. Adjust edge detection parameters.
6. Select the width, filter, and threshold.
7. Learn nominal value.
8. Select ranges.
Each of the gages can be configured as a line gage, an arc gage, or a circle
gage, according to the requirements of your application.
When configuring a gage, the gage shape should be your first selection.
