Description
Polarity
Find rising edges, falling edges, or both.
Selection
Select which edge the
Edge
tool chooses: first edge, last edge or
strongest edge found.
Edge sharpness
Adjust to find sharper or softer edges.
Probe spacing
Set the distance (in pixels) between edge locator probes, orthogo‐
nal to the search direction.
Outlier mode
Manually or automatically trim data points for line approximation.
Manual mode enables the outlier distance setting.
Outlier distance
Only include data points within this distance (mm) for line approxi‐
mation.
Masks
Mask a part of the image to exclude it from the search.

Plane
tool
Plane
The
Plane
tool uses pixels inside its region of interest to find
a flat surface. Use the
Plane
tool to define plane features for
use with other tools, or to use the tool output independently.

Description
Region shape
Set the shape of the region of interest to rectangular or elliptical.
Height range
Set upper and lower bounds of the region of interest on the Z-axis.
Robustness
Set trade-off between speed and robustness. Low robustness will
result in fewer data points considered to find a plane.
Percentile
Set the span of height data points to include when calculating
plane.
Show used points
Indicates the data points used to calculate plane.
Masks
Mask a part of the image to exclude it from the search.
