6.5 Measurement Tool
In this dialogue you can define the ’number of Measurement Tools ’ as well as ’number of
references’. Additionally several other parameters can be changed to suit your applica-
tion.
Control Description
number of Measurement Tools configure the number of devices to be used
number of references configure the number of reference bodies to be used
use old output format configure legacy output format (refer to chapter
B.2.9 on page 265
measurement duration [s] configure the time to perform a measurement with
the Measurement Tool (valid range: 0.2 - 10.0 sec)
tool tip tolerance [mm] specify the range within which the tip is assumed to
be static (valid range: 0.1 - 5.0 mm)
activate measurement start simulation activate the gesture detection and enable the re-
spective controls
minimal angular variation [deg] specify the minimum angle that the Measurement
Tool has to be tilted over to start a measurement
(valid range: 10
◦
- 120
◦
)
maximum lead time for this angular
variation [s]
waiting time before the measurement start after ges-
ture detection

References If you are working with a reference body you may assign it to a specific
’Measurement Tool ID’:
• mark the respective Measurement Tool ,
• mark the reference body and
• press Select.
Repeat these steps if you want to assign references to other Measurement Tools .
Measurement Duration It is possible to define the duration of a point measurement. A
compromise has to be found between the amount of data collected and the convenience
of holding the measurement tool. Enter the value in seconds in the field measurement
duration [s].
Tool Tip Tolerance The tracking system will take measurements up to a defined jitter in
millimeter around the tool tip. Configure this tolerance to suit your application. Enter the
value in millimeters in tool tip tolerance [mm].
Start Simulation In certain applications and use cases it might be more convenient to
start the measurement by a gesture rather than pressing a button on your PC. Tick the
