3D Measurement Types and Special Capabilities
This section specifically addresses cursor placement for each type of 3D Phase and 3D Stereo Measurement.
Length
Description: Linear
(Point-to-Point) measurement
Cursor Placement:
Place both cursors at the desired
locations.
Notes:
- Inserting a Measurement Plane defines a flat 3D plane, which provides a surface onto which measurement cursors are projected. This enables measurement of missing material or edge
indications where red pixels would otherwise prevent measurement-cursor placement or 3D data noise would cause inaccurate results.
Plane. Once a user-defined Measurement Plane is added to an image, all measurements added before or after the plane was inserted are made with respect to the Measurement Plane.
- Turning Auto Repeat ON causes the previously selected measurement type to be repeated.
Point-to-line
Description: The perpendicular
distance from a point to a line.
Cursor Placement:
Place the first two cursors to define a
reference line. Place the third cursor at
the perpendicular distance you want
to measure.
Depth
Description: The perpendicular
distance between a surface and a point
above or below it. Used to evaluate
changes due to wear, misalignment,
and other causes.
Negative measurements indicate that
the point lies below the plane. Positive
measurements indicate that it lies
above the plane.
Cursor Placement:
Place the first three cursors to define
a reference plane. The Depth Assist
feature will assess the nearby surface
contours and, if found, automatically
place fourth cursor at the deepest point,
highest point, or blade edge. Check
fourth cursor positioning and adjust if
needed.
Depth Profile
Description: Depth of isolated corrosion
or erosion pits, FOD impact damage,
Weld height or wear groove depth
Placement:
Cursor
Place the first three cursors to define
a reference plane. The Depth Assist
feature will assess the nearby surface
contours and, if found, automatically
place fourth cursor at the deepest point,
highest point, or blade edge. Check
fourth cursor positioning and adjust if
needed.
