The second technique can only probe a circle located within the field of view that is large enough to enclose
the center of the Multiple edge probe, but the technique is extremely simple and productive. To probe a
circle using the second technique with the multiple edge probe:
1 Select the Circle feature measurement, and then select the multiple edge probe. Select a circle that will
completely enclose the center of the Multiple edge probe.
2 Move the stage to place the center of the Multiple edge probe
inside the circle. The center of the Multiple edge probe should be red
to indicate that no edge is detected.
3 Press the Enter key. All the circle points will be probed at roughly
regular intervals around the perimeter of the circle, the measurement
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 touch-
ing the View button if desired.
