Parameters
Stud
The Stud tool measures the location and radius of a
stud.
The Stud tool does not search for or
detect a stud. The tool expects that a stud
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 "Stud
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.
The location of the stud is defined at either the stud
tip or the stud base. The tip is the intersection of the
stud axis and the top of the stud; the base is the
intersection of the stud axis and the surrounding
plane.
The stud shape is defined by the tip height and base
height. The base and tip heights specify where the
shaft with the nominal radius begins and ends.
