About Measurement

Measurement capability is enabled once measurement tips have been
calibrated to the XL Vu system. Features and defects may be measured
either before or after saving an image (if the image was saved in
measurement mode). Up to five measurements can be saved per image.
Measurement results are valid only for measurements taken in air.
For measurements taken in liquid, contact GE Sensing and Inspection
Technologies.
A measurement accuracy verification block is supplied with the purchase
of measurement tips. Perform a measurement on this verification block
to check accuracy. See Appendix D for help with using the verification
block.
All measurement images saved using the XL Vu system can be re-
measured on a PC using Inspection Manager or iViewPC software.

Measurement File Formats

Measurement images, such as, JPEGs or bitmaps can be saved. These
files can also be viewed including the measurement results, in most
.BMP or .JPG viewing applications, such as Windows™ Paint. To learn
how to change the file format, see STILL IMAGE SETUP > FORMAT >
JPEG QUALITY.
NOTE: The .BMP file format is recommended for measurement
image capture.

Measurement Optical Tips

ShadowProbe and StereoProbe measurement tips are factory-
® ®
calibrated for use with specific probes. Tips are matched to systems by
the serial numbers identified on each optical tip. A label located in USB1
bay indicates which tips are calibrated to the probe.
To ensure that no mechanical damage has degraded tip accuracy, verify
measurement tips each time they are used. See Verifying Measurement
Tips in the Appendix.
