How is a grid used? A grid structure may associate one dimension of the
grid (for example, the columns) with the physical parts whose wall
thickness is to be measured. The particular measurement points on each
part are then associated with the other dimension of the grid (that is, the
rows).
Alternatively, the rows and columns of a grid may refer to a two
dimensional map of measurement points on the surface of one part. In
this case, a different grid is made for each part.
