•
Width, Kernel –– This field provides access to the selection of the Gage
Width & Kernel panel, which sets the sub–gage width (in pixels) and the
“kernel” size.
•
Thresholds –– This field provides access to the Gage Threshold panel,
which sets the change in gray scale values that are required to detect the
“rising” and “falling” edges of an object in the image.
•
Result –– This field displays an eight–digit hexadecimal number. Each of
the 32 bit positions represents the pass/fail status of the corresponding
sub–gage. (A “0” bit indicates that the sub–gage has passed; a “1” bit
indicates that it has failed.) For example, the hex number 0x00000021
indicates that sub–gages 1 and 6 have failed (bit positions 1 and 6 are set
to “1”), while sub–gages 2 – 5 (and any sub–gages above 6) have passed
(bit positions 2 – 5 and 7 – 32 are all set to “0”).
This hexadecimal “result” value is not range checked by the multiple
gages tool; instead, it is made available to math tools, and to host systems
through the communication ports.
•
Gage Label –– This field enables you to select an appropriate name tag
for each sub–gage. When the sub–gage is repositioned, the name tag
moves with it.
•
Direction –– This field sets the sub–gage orientation to either Horizontal
or Vertical . Toggling this field successively alternates between these two
orientations. No other orientations are available.
•
Sub–Gages results –– This is a list box that contains from 1 to 32
sub–gages and their current results values. By default, it contains one
sub–gage initially. (Additional sub–gages are created with the “Add” and
“Copy and Paste” functions, which are described below.)
Here is a brief description of each button in the toolset edit panel:
•
Add
↑ –– Use the
button to select a new sub–gage and insert it
before (above) the highlighted sub–gage in the list box.
•
Add
↓ –– Use the
button to select a new sub–gage and insert it after
(below) the highlighted sub–gage in the list box.
•
Cut –– Use the button to delete (and save in a “clipboard”) the
highlighted sub–gage in the list box.
•
Copy –– Use the button to copy into a “clipboard” the highlighted
sub–gage in the list box. After copying, the next step is pasting the copied
sub–gage (see the Paste
↑ and Paste↓ button descriptions below).
•
Paste
↑ –– Use the
button to “paste” a copied sub–gage from the
“clipboard” and insert it before (above) the highlighted sub–gage.
•
Paste
↓ –– Use the
button to “paste” a copied sub–gage from the
“clipboard” and insert it after (below) the highlighted sub–gage.
