The feature modes are described briefly as follows:
•
All Edges –– This feature mode causes the gage to include all detected
“edges” along its length in its search for a specified feature (this includes
edges and all midpoints between each pair of consecutive edges, the
center between the extreme edges, and the starting end of the gage).
•
Max Object –– This feature mode restricts the search for a specified
feature to the leading edge and the midpoint of the largest identified
“object” along the length of the gage.
•
Max F. Object –– This feature mode restricts the search for a specified
feature to the leading edge and the midpoint of the largest identified
“foreground object” along the length of the gage.
•
Max B. Object –– This feature mode restricts the search for a specified
feature to the leading edge and the midpoint of the largest identified
“background object” along the length of the gage.
NOTE: The terms “foreground object” and “background object” have
different meanings for binary and gray scale gaging modes. Refer to the
Foreground Objects; Background Objects section on page 7–8 for
definitions of these terms.
