Video Inspection Software User’s Guide
• Measurements can be temporarily unlocked from saved reference frames by the user. Unlocked measurements are no longer referred to their own reference frames and will be referred to the current reference frame. Measurements can be relocked to their saved reference frames later by the user. • All reference frame operations will become part of recorded programs and can be played back later. However, no new reference frame creation is permitted in the program edit mode. Unsaved Reference Frames As mentioned earlier, by default, reference frames are not saved automatically and while several reference frames might have been created, all measurements will be referred to the last reference frame created (the current reference frame). Reference frames created earlier cannot be saved later, only the last reference frame can be saved. Saving Reference Frames Reference frames can be saved manually by the user or automatically by the system. In either case, measurement results are associated with their own reference frames. However, saving a reference frame manually requires a user operation and relies on the user to remember to do it. Saving reference frames automatically eliminates these issues. To save a reference frame manually: 1 Confirm that the Reference Frame button is shown in the Extra menu or in the System toolbar. If it is not, configure the button in the Desktop Settings screen. System toolbar > System menu > Desktop Settings screen > Reference Frame button > Desktop or Extra
2 After the creation of one reference frame, and before the creation of another, long-press the Reference Frame button. The reference frame indication will change from temporary (1T) to permanent (1), indicating that the reference frame was saved and a color-coded bar will appear in front of the datum and associated feature measurements. To save a reference frame automatically: 1 Set Automatically Save UCS (Universal Coordinate System) to yes in the Measure Settings screen.
System toolbar > System menu > Measure Settings screen > Automatically Save UCS > Yes
Reference frame button is 1T
Reference frame button is changed to 1
When the reference frame is saved automatically, the observed behavior of the system is the same as shown above except that no user intervention is required to save any reference frame.
Locking and Unlocking Features from their Reference Frames Feature measurements can be locked or unlocked from saved reference frames by the user. Unlocked measurements are no longer referred to their own reference frames and will be referred to the current reference frame. To lock or unlock feature measurements: 1 Confirm that the Feature Lock button is shown in the Extra menu or in the System toolbar. If is not, configure the button in the Measure Settings screen. System toolbar > System menu > Measure Settings screen > Feature Lock button > Desktop or Extra 2 The default condition of the Feature Lock button is locked. Press the Feature Lock button to toggle between locked and unlocked.
