X/Y Scale, Edge to Edge, X/Y Edge to Edge and Circle Calibration Types
The X/Y Scale, Edge to Edge, X/Y Edge to Edge and Circle calibration options are useful in applications where you are inspecting a part or object, and you know the real-world measurement of the part or object.
Used when you know the X and Y scale values for calculating a simple calibration.
- Select X/Y Scale from the Calibration Type drop-down menu.
- From the Units drop-down menu, select the real world units (Microns, Millimeters, Centimeters or Inches).
- In the Horizontal Scale parameter, enter the horizontal scale value (0 to 9,999,999)
- In the Vertical Scale parameter, enter the vertical scale value (0 to 9,999,999).
- The calibration will be applied as soon as this option is selected and the values are configured.
Used when you know the distance between two edge features.
- Select Edge to Edge from the Calibration Type drop-down menu.
- Press the Select Edges button; EasyBuilder will examine your image and give you a selection of Smart Features that it has automatically detected (highlighted in cyan).
- First select one Smart Feature from the available features by clicking on it, at which point its color will change to magenta and a line will extend out from that feature.
-
Next, select the second Smart Feature.
Note: If the features you want to use are not automatically found by EasyBuilder, uncheck the Smart Features checkbox and position the region over the feature that you want to define instead. - Press the OK button to define your features.
- From the Units drop-down menu, select the real world units (Microns, Millimeters, Centimeters or Inches).
- Enter the known, real world measurement of the feature into the Dimension field.
- Press the Calibrate button to finalize the calibration process. The results of Location and Inspection Tools will now appear in real-world units.
Used when you know the distance between two edge pairs; one in the horizontal direction, and another in the vertical direction. Combining the horizontal measurement and dimension with the vertical measurement and dimension creates two independent scales.
- Select X/Y Edge to Edge from the Calibration Type drop-down menu.
- Press the Define Horizontal Measurement button; EasyBuilder will examine your image and give you a selection of Smart Features that it has automatically detected (highlighted in cyan).
- First select one Smart Feature from the available features by clicking on it, at which point its color will change to magenta and a line will extend out from that feature.
-
Next, select the second Smart Feature.
Note: If the features you want to use are not automatically found by EasyBuilder, uncheck the Smart Features checkbox and position the region over the feature that you want to define instead. - Press the OK button to define your features.
- Press the Define Vertical Measurement button; EasyBuilder will examine your image and give you a selection of Smart Features that it has automatically detected (highlighted in cyan).
- First select one Smart Feature from the available features by clicking on it, at which point its color will change to magenta and a line will extend out from that feature.
- Next, select the second Smart Feature.
- Press the OK button to define your features.
- From the Units drop-down menu, select the real world units (Microns, Millimeters, Centimeters or Inches).
- Enter the known, real world horizontal dimension of the feature into the Horizontal Dimension field.
- Enter the known, real-world vertical dimension of the feature into the Vertical Dimension field.
- Press the Calibrate button to finalize the calibration process. The results of Location and Inspection Tools will now appear in real-world units.
Used when you know the diameter of a circular feature.
- Select Circle from the Calibration Type drop-down menu.
- Press the Select Circle button; EasyBuilder will examine your image and give you a selection of Smart Features that it has automatically detected (highlighted in cyan).
-
