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.
Panel
The Panel tool provides Gap and Flush measurements. 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 Panel tool uses a complex feature-locating algorithm to find the gap or calculate flushness and
return measurements. The behavior of the algorithm can be adjusted by changing the parameters in the
measurement panel. See "Gap and Flush Algorithm" in the Gocator Measurement Tool Technical Manual
for a detailed explanation of the algorithm.
You must make sure that there are enough data points to define the edge in the profile, by
properly settng up exposure, etc. If not, the algorithm will not function.
