SA Feature Request Profiles

Feature Measurements can be performed either by fitting the geometry on board the instrument or by measuring a point cloud and sending this cloud data to SA. Doing so had the advantage of offering an option to capture the data used for the fit process within SA. The SA Feature Request Profiles dialog offers a list of the existing feature measurement profiles to choose from and the ability to modify or add to this list as needed.

The following feature support is currently available: 

Geometry Type On Board Geometry Measurement Disc Scan Patch Scan Line Scan Geometry Scan
Circles: Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Spheres: Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Slots: No Yes Yes Yes Yes
Cylinders: No Yes Yes Yes Yes

 

Geometry measurements can be performed using Fast, Standard or Precise measurement options. Cloud measurements offer the same resolution control but also offer selection between patch or spiral scans.

Feature extraction within SA will use the feature's cloud proximity filter settings. When working with Circles and Slots its typically best to use either the 3D or 2D extraction methods.

 

Feature Measurements can be pre-configured as part of a GR-Features Trapping controls by selecting a named Feature Measurement Profile from the drop down list within the dialog.

Press the Edit / Add button to access the profile definitions saved with the instrument. Note that configuration currently must be performed with a live instrument to ensure that change on the instrument side to the available profiles are saved.
