Probes

Probing a line

The same basic technique is used to probe a line whether the line is completely within or outside the field

of view. To probe a line using the multiple edge probe:

1 Select the Line feature measurement, and then select the multiple edge probe.

2 Seed the multiple edge

probe at the two extreme ends

of the line. The green arrow

and red circle will be present-

ed.

3 Move the stage to place the

green arrow inside the red circle.

The remaining line points will be

probed at roughly regular inter-

vals along the line, the measure-

ment will be completed and the

feature data will be stored in the

feature list.

4 The feature and probed points can be reviewed in detail by touching the View button if desired.
