Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 205
Anchor Description
X or Z Lets you choose the X or Z measurement of another tool to
use as a positional anchor for this tool.
Anchoring
A measurement must be enabled in the other tool for it to be available as an anchor. The anchor
measurement should also be properly configured before using it as an anchor.
For more information on anchoring, see Measurement Anchoring on page 194.
Bounding Box
The Bounding Box tool provides measurements related to the smallest box that contains the profile (for
example, X position, Z position, width, etc.).
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 191.
See Adding and Configuring a Measurement Tool on page 182 for instructions on how to add
measurement tools.
The bounding box provides the absolute position from which the Position centroids tools are
referenced.
When you use measurement tools on parts or sections, the coordinates returned are relative to
the part or section. You can use the values returned by the Bounding Box tool's "Global"(see
below) measurements as an offset in a Gocator script to convert the positional (X, Y, or Z)
measurements of other measurement tools to sensor or system coordinates (depending on
whether the sensor is aligned). For more information on Gocator scripts, see See Scripts on
page 313.
