The stop sign is green when it is connected to the Worm probe, and red when separated. The stop sign
is reunited with the probe by clicking and dragging it back over the center of the probe and releasing the
mouse button, or by double-clicking the stop sign.
Extending scans beyond the field of view
The field of view is indicated by a rectangle that encloses the contents of the video window. Red rectangles
stop scans at the edge of the field of view, green rectangles permit the scanning to extend beyond the field
of view in systems equipped with CNC capabilities.
The field of view rectangle can be toggled from red to green to extend scanning beyond the field of view
rectangle. Click on the field of view rectangle to toggle it between red and green. When scans are ex-
tended beyond the field of view, the CNC stage will repeatedly reposition the camera over the part so that
all required perimeter edges are scanned.
The Worm probe can
be created quickly us-
ing the New probe in
the live video window
by double-clicking
and dragging the New
Probe in the desired
scan direction.
When the New probe
creates a Worm probe,
the edge order will au-
tomatically be made consistent with the scan direction.
