b. Find the edges that match your measurement. Left-click on

one edge (1), and a “rubber” line appears and follows your

cursor movement. Click on the opposite side of the bead (2).

Move the mouse along the second edge, and click again on

the second side of the bead (3). A line is drawn through the

center of the bead. This line is intersected by several perpen-

dicular “ruler lines”. These lines and the smaller pink dots

(where the ruler lines cross the edges of the bead) indicate the

sampling points for finding the edges. These lines locate the

two edges of the bead, and measure the distances between

edges. At inspection time the lines locate the edges of the

bead and compare the distances between the edges to the

trained distance.

c. When the Bead tool is selected, you can drag the center points of the ruler lines (where they

cross the center line) if they are not where you wanted. Moving the center points also

changes the spacing between the ruler lines. The small solid box that appears at the end of

the first ruler line defines the search “area” for locating each edge of the bead; how far to

look from the center line to find the edge. You can drag the solid square to resize the ruler

lines and increase the search area; but searching more area may increase the processing time.

d. When you hover over the center line, the label (Bead1) turns red and a message should ap-

pear, telling you to “Right-click to edit.”

e. Right-click on the line. A Bead Properties edit box opens. In this box you can: set the toler-

ances for recycle and reject, rename the measurement, change the sensitivity and change the

sample gap (space between samples). Use the tabs and “Enable” check boxes to select mea-

surements. By default two measurements are enabled.
