Principle of the measuring function
You always have to follow the same principle when measuring the various sizes. First, you must set the virtual pipe projected by the measuring
software with its reference lines to your real pipe congruently. This reference target is the basis so that the measuring lines of the measurements
output the exact reference and hence the correct measuring result. The measuring lines are then calibrated in the next step. In this way, the correct
values of the option to be measured are calculated or can be read off.
Scheme Referencing Real pipe / Virtual pipe
To ensure that the measuring function has a correct reference to the pipe to be inspected, this must be referenced. The following scheme shows
the procedure for this. The aim of the setting is to shift the virtual pipe with its setting lines visually congruently to the real pipe. The virtual pipe
provides the measuring reference for the inspected pipe diameter (setting in the current position).
