Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 174
The Bridge Value tool measurements use a histogram of the ranges that make up the profile, in which
the ranges are ordered from lowest to highest. The Window and Skip parameters together determine
what segment of the heights in the histogram is used to calculate the bridge value. The following
diagram illustrates what points of the histogram would be included for calculating the bridge value
where Window is roughly 50%and Skip is roughly 15% of the histogram.
Profile point heights in the white area are included in the calculation of the average. Profile point heights
in the grey area are excluded. By adjusting the Window and Skip parameters, you can choose profile
point heights to remove unwanted features. In road roughness applications, you could exclude road
features, such as rocks, cracks, tining valleys, and so on, to get an accurate representation of the tire-to-
road interface. For more information on parameters, see the Parameters table below.
Gocator compares the measurement value with the values in Min and Max to yield a decision. For more
information on decisions, see Decisions on page 159.
See Adding and Configuring a Tool on page 156 for instructions on how to add measurement tools.
