Opening
The Opening tool locates rounded, rectangular,
and rounded corner openings. The opening can
be on a surface at an angle to the sensor.
The Opening tool does not search
for or detect an opening. The tool
expects that an opening
conforming reasonably well to the
defined parameters is present
and that it is on a sufficiently
uniform background.
See Adding and Configuring a Tool on page 156
for instructions on how to add measurement
tools.
The tool uses a complex feature-locating
algorithm to find a hold and then return
measurements. See "Opening Algorithm" in the
Gocator Measurement Tool Technical Manual
for a detailed explanation of the algorithm. The
behavior of the algorithm can be adjusted by
changing the parameters in the measurement
panel.
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. You can select the
measurement region in which the opening is
