Banner PresencePLUS P4 COLOR Series - Manual (Page 271)

The curve, drawn in purple over the image of the bead, is an artifact generated by the bead tool. It shows the computed
center spine of the bead detected by the Bead Tool within its ROI.
The tool returns the distance calculations for the X and Y component.
Additionally, the following results are generated in this operation:
• The line connecting the two points
• The angle of that line (relative to the x-axis)
• The coordinates of the selected (farthest or closest) point on the curve
Measure from a Curve to a Line
This operation is available if a Bead Tool has been added to the inspection prior to the particular instance of the Measure
Tool being edited. In this operation, the software calculates the distance between a curve and a line produced by other
Measure Tool.
This measurement is made from either the closest or the farthest point on the curve. It is the shortest distance from the
line to the selected point, and is generated by creating a line perpendicular to the original line that intersects the selected
point on the curve. The points are selected in the Bead tab in the Measure Tool.
