(“operations”) that it can perform.

Once you have selected a multiple windows tool as outlined in the Overview:
Inspection Tool Selection Process section (page 7–1), you can configure it
for an inspection application by picking the

field in the

toolset edit panel. When you do, the multiple window tool edit panel appears,
as shown by the example in Figure 7.157.

Sub–Window

(default position)

Note that in Figure 7.157 a single “sub–window” is shown in its default
position on the screen.

The multiple windows tool edit panel (named

Edit “Toolset 1.Tool 1 Edit”

)

in Figure 7.157) contains several data fields, buttons, and a “sub–windows
results” box, which are used to configure each sub–window. Their functions
are described briefly as follows:

•

Operation –– This field provides access to the selection of one of the
sub–window “operations.” The default sub–window operation is

White

Pixels

, which is a pixel–counting operation.

•

Thresh/Filter –– This field provides access to the threshold and/or
morphology filter selection panels. For details about this function, refer to
page 8–9 in Chapter 8, Thresholds, Filters, and Morphology.
