These measuring functions must be used regardless of the possible settings in

"Measure method".

8.4.1 Line

The "Line" measurement function is used to measure a line visually from point to

point. If the TCAM2 finds an edge near the selected point, the next edge pixel will be

taken as the display and analysis point. If there is no edge nearby, the precise posi-

tion of the mouse pointer will be taken.

Procedure:

1. Select "Line".

2. Move the mouse pointer to the desired position and left click. The TCAM2

sets the first analysis point on the next edge pixel.

3. Move the mouse pointer to the next position and left click. The TCAM2 sets

the second analysis point on the next edge pixel. The function is now closed

and angle, length and the orthogonal ∆x and ∆z difference of the line are

displayed in the status window.

The first analysis point is the origin point for calculating the angle

while the second analysis point marks the end of the line whose

angle is calculated on the horizontal axis.
