Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 176
Parameter Description
Window A percentage of the profile point heights in the histogram,
starting from the highest point, to include in the average.
For example, a setting of 50% would include the highest
50% of the heights. The Skip parameter then determines
the actual portion of the profile point heights used to
calculate the average.
The Window setting in effect sets the lower limit of the
portion of profile points in the histogram to be used in the
average.
Skip A percentage of the profile point heights in the histogram,
starting from the highest points, to exclude from the
average.
The percentage represents the portion of the entire profile,
not the portion defined by Window.
The Skip setting basically sets the upper limit of the portion
of profile points in the histogram to be used in the average.
If Skip is greater than Window, an invalid value is returned.
Max Invalid
The maximum percentage of invalid points allowed
before an invalid result is returned.
Max Differential
The maximum difference between the maximum and
minimum histogram values before an invalid
measurement value is produced.
Normalize Tilt
Fits a line to the profile and shears the points in the Z
direction by the angle between the fitted line and the X
axis. The Window and Skip settings are applied to the
histogram of the transformed data.
Useful for surfaces that are tilted.

Parameters
Circle
The Circle tool provides measurements that find the best-fitted circle to the live profile and measure
various characteristics of the circle. 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.
