Set Float Example
You can set the floating-point value of a Location or Inspection Tool parameter, or job data, by sending a Set Float command containing the new floating-point value.
-
Assume that your job contains a Pattern Location Tool, and the tool's current Horizontal Offset parameter setting is the default, 0.000:
-
However, you would like to change that parameter's setting via the Set Float Native Mode command. Issue the command SFPattern_1.Horizontal_Offset 100.302 as shown in the following telnet client window:
-
The In-Sight vision system responds with 1, indicating that the command was successfully executed. The tool's Horizontal Offset parameter has been successfully changed from 0.000 to 100.302:
