Table 7.1 lists all of the gage operations, along with the applicable gage
shape and gaging mode.
Table 7.1 Summary of Gage Operations
Gage Operation Gage Shape Gaging Mode
White pixels Line, arc, circle Binary
Black pixels Line, arc, circle Binary
Foreground objects Line, arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Background objects Line, arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Edges Line, arc, circle Binary, gray scale
X position Line, arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Y position Line, arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Linear measure Line, arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Theta Arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Wedge angle Arc, circle Binary, gray scale
Chord angle Arc, circle Binary, gray scale
NOTE: All but the last three gage operations apply to the line, arc, and
circle gages. The last three apply only to arc and circle gages.
White Pixels; Black Pixels
These two gage operations are available only when you select the binary
gaging mode. The pixel counting operations count the total number of white
or black pixels along the full length of the gage. Figure 7.5 (A) (page 7–8)
shows a linear gage performing a black pixel counting operation across a
workpiece, while (B) shows the same gage performing a white pixel counting
operation across the same workpiece.
Note that black pixel count (190 pixels in the A example) is the total of the
pixels in all of the black rectangles, while the white pixel count (117 in the B
example) is the total of the pixels in all of the white spaces between the black
rectangles, plus the white area on each end of the gage.
