MetLogix Mx200 User Manual

8.4 Auto Edge Detection Probe The Auto Edge detection probe must also be aligned by the user and detects feature edges as explained above, but the detected point is entered automatically into the current measurements when the probe crosses an edge eliminating the need for user interaction. The DRO stage position is updated only when a new edge is detected.

8.5 Points Required for Feature Measurements The minimum number of points required for each feature type is shown in the table below. Probing more than the minimum number of required points increases measurement accuracy.
