EDITING PATTERNS
Introducing Edit
Figure 6.7
Main Menu > Options > EDIT
As described earlier in this chapter, Advanced mode's LEARN
display allows you to accept or reject a target and create your own
discrimination patterns.
EDIT offers a final enhancement to these targeting features,
enabling you to make manual changes to any discrimination
pattern.
For example: Learn mode's target selection may not provide quite
the result you wanted (even when using a different-sized cursor)
Rather than start all over again, you can just 'touch up' your
results. Similarly, you may find that the discrimination pattern for
FOIL may need to be modified to suit your requirements.
The following tutorial outlines how to edit and then save
discrimination patterns.
NOTE Make sure Pinpoint is in OFF position before using
EDIT to customize your discrimination pattern.
EDITING AND SAVING TARGET PATTERNS
