Measurement Illustration
Angle X
Determines the X angle of the surface with respect to the
alignment target.
Angle Y
Determines the Y angle of the surface with respect to the
alignment target.
Offset Z
Determines the Z offset of the surface with respect to the
alignment target.
Standard Deviation
Measures the standard deviation of the points of the
surface from the detected plane.
Min Error
Measures the minimum error from the detected plane (the
maximum distance below the plane).
Max Error
Measures the maximum error from the detected plane (the
maximum distance above the plane).

Parameters
Position
The Position tool reports the X, Y, or Z position of a part. The feature type must be specified and is one
of the following: Average (the mean X, Y, and Z of the data points), Median (median X, Y, and Z of the
data points), Centroid (the centroid of the data considered as a volume with respect to the z = 0 plane),
Min X, Max X, Min Y, Max Y, Min Z, or Max Z.
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.
