The threshold setting should be the one that optimizes the profile tool for its
assigned inspection task of locating edges, counting edges, counting objects,
or measuring distances between edges, according to the tool operation
selected in the
Operation field of the profile tool edit panel.
A profile tool can be selected when the toolset edit panel is on the screen.
Starting from the main menu bar, the selection path to this panel is as
follows: Editors
→ Configuration → Setup → Tools. This selection path
is shown by the example in Figure 7.1 (page 7–2).
Here is a summary list of the basic profile tool selection and configuration
steps, listed in their normal order of performance:
1. Select the profile tool operation.
2. Select the profile direction.
3. “Pick and place” the profile tool.
4. Select morphology filter(s), if necessary. (For details, see Chapter 8,
Thresholds, Filters, and Morphology.)
5. Set the profile threshold.
6. Select profile filters, if necessary.
7. Select the feature(s).
8. Learn the nominal value.
9. Select the ranges.
As noted earlier, there are five profile tool operations. When you pick the
Operation field in the profile tool edit panel, the Operation selection panel
appears, as shown in Figure 7.127.
