Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
• 548
The TestSurfaceConfiguration example shows how to create and modify parameters based on
other user settings.
For full descriptions of these functions, see the GDKclass reference documentation (see Installation and
Class Reference on page 545 for information on installing the documentation).
Parameter Configurations
Each tool has two levels of parameters: tool parameters and measurement parameters.
Atool can contain multiple measurements. In the image above, the Groove tool contains four
measurements:X, Z, Width, and Depth. Each tool has one set of tool parameters and each measurement
in a tool has one set of measurement parameters.
The following table lists the functions that provide advanced or interactive control for setting up tool
and measurement parameters:
