7.3.1. Generic Measurements
A default generic measurement is automatically started when Measure is invoked. Each imaging
mode supports several types of measurements, as described below. You can switch between these
types using the touch screen buttons along the bottom of the touch screen. Some generic
measurements have options, for the method to perform the measurement. When the current
generic measurement has options available you can view and change those options through the
Tool Options touch screen buttons.
