NOTE It is also possible to set a direction and color sense for the Simple Active crosshair probe. To perform this action, click on the sizing handle to set the color sense (dark/light) and rotate the probe to achieve the desired direction. The probe will collect points along the crosshair axis that has the arrow handles on it. This allows for collection of specific points along an axis edge scanning.

Probing and Measuring Blobs Blobs are irregular shapes with a potentially complex perimeter. The M3 software measures blobs in the field of view with a special tool that captures an extremely high density of points. Two methods are used to measure blobs using the blob tool: pressing the blob edge or tracing the blob perimeter.
