Banner PresencePLUS P4 EDGE 1.3 Series - Manual (Page 154)

The Measure tool window to the left shows the settings and results of the inspection to the right.
The inputs are both existing Measure tools (MT_1 and MT_2). The output, called MT_3, is the angle between
the lines of each of the inputs. MT_3 is a curved counterclockwise arrow from the first input, MT_1, towards
the arrowhead of the second input, MT_2. The Results section of the measure Tool window lists this angle a
-90.00 degrees. The only other piece of information reported is the intersection point of the two best fit lines,
marked by a solid red triangle.
How the Tool Measures a Line and a Point
This mode finds the shortest distance between a point and a line. The two inputs to the Measure tool are:
• any point a vision tool generates
• any line another measure tool generates.
The shortest distance between a line and a point lies along another line. This new line is perpendicular to the
original line, as shown below.
