tread inspection, or label

To scan exactly one
revolution of a circular
target without knowing
the circumference,
manually set the encoder
resolution (page 94) to 1,
the encoder trigger
spacing (page 105) to
(number of encoder ticks
per revolution) / (number
of desired profiles per
revolution), and
Encoder
Resolution in the
Surface Generation
panel to the number of
encoder ticks per
revolution.
You can optionally enable part
detection to process the surface
after it has been generated, but the
generation itself does not depend
on the detection logic. To do this,
check
Enabled in the Part
Detection panel.
To configure surface generation:
1. Go to the Scan page and choose Surface in the Scan Mode panel.
If this mode is not selected, you will not be able to configure surface generation.
2. Expand the Surface Generation panel by clicking on the panel header or the button.
3. Choose an option from the Type drop-down and any additional settings.
See the types and their settings described above.
Part Detection
In Surface mode, a Gocator sensor can analyze scan datato identify discrete objects. Surface
measurements can then be performed on each object. Part detection is configured using the
Part
Detection panel on the Scan page.
Part detection must be manually enabled when Type is set to Fixed Length , Variable Length , or
Rotational in the Surface Generation panel. When Type is set to Continuous , part detection is
always enabled.
