Figure 6-7 3-Axis Volume Method and the Results
3-Axis (LWH) method
V= (π/6) × L × W × H,
(L: the length. W: the width. H: the height.)
Three-axis (LWH) method can be used to perform volume measurement
by calculating 3 sets of distance data, L, W, and H. Measure the three
pieces of data in the method of B mode generic distance measurement,
and then the value of volume will be displayed automatically.
To measure volume:
In the B mode
1. Obtain a cross-section image and freeze the system.
2. Measure the length and the width.
3. Unfreeze the system to acquire a new image (vertical-section image),
and then freeze it.
4. Measure the height. You can measure a maximum of one group of data.
The outcome will be displayed in the measurement result window.
In the 2B mode or 4B mode
1. Obtain the cross-section image and the vertical-section image.
2. Measure the length and the width.
3. Roll the trackball to the next image, vertical section image, measure the
height. The outcome will be displayed in the measurement result window,
as shown below.
4. Press Measure to finish and exit.
