Measurement
This chapter describes the measurement functions available in Gocator sensors that are equipped with
profile tools . Profile tools are pre-installed on individual Gocator sensors that are ordered with this option.
Most measurement functions detect and compare feature points or lines found within laser profile data.
Measurement values are compared against minimum and maximum thresholds to yield decisions .
