Description of calipers
While you are making a measurement, the measurement caliper
is either active (open plus sign) or fixed (closed plus sign). An
active caliper is yellow and a fixed caliper is green.
The system allows you to identify measurements by number or
by unique symbol. If you choose Number as the Cursor Type,
after you complete a measurement, it is assigned a number. If
you choose Symbol as the Cursor Type, after you complete a
measurement, the caliper symbol changes to one of the nine
shown below. The symbols are used in sequence as listed. The
first symbol is used for the first measurement, the second
symbol for the second measurement, and so on. The numbers
or symbols also identify measurements in the Results Window.
Figure 7-2. Fixed Caliper Symbols
For information about how to choose Cursor Type of Number or
Symbol, see Chapter 16.
Measurement line display
While you are making a measurement, the system displays a
dotted line to show the measurement. After you press
Set to
complete the measurement, the dotted line remains on the
display if the Show Caliper Line in the Options tab is selected. If
Show Caliper Line is not selected, the system erases the dotted
line and only the measurement calipers with a number or symbol
are displayed. The Show Caliper Line on the Options tab takes
precedence over the Cursor Line Display preset, found on the
System -> System Measure screen.
