Taking Stereo Measurements

For maximum accuracy in any type of stereo measurement, you must begin by positioning

the stereo tip carefully.

To Position the Probe Tip for a Stereo Measurement Image

Before freezing a stereo measurement image, position the probe tip to meet these criteria:

• Visibility. The item to be measured is fully visible on both sides of the screen.

• Tip-to-target proximity. The tip is as close as possible to the target while keeping it in

focus.

• Minimal glare. Glare is minimized by adjusting the viewing angle and the image

brightness in the areas where you will be placing cursors. Small glare speckles do not

present a problem, but larger glare areas may appear in different positions on the two

sides, causing false matches.

• Vertical orientation. If measuring distance between lines or across a circle, the

image is oriented so that you can place cursors at left and right edges of the item to be

measured — not at top, bottom or diagonal points. The system needs differentiated

details to the left and right of each cursor to accurately place the matching cursors in

horizontal relationship to the left-side cursors. For detailed explanation and illustration,

see “About the Matching Cursors” on page 93.

Bad Example

• Object is not fully visible on right side.

• Object is not well lit. (Optical tip needs to move closer to surface.)

• Object is not oriented to allow placement of cursors at left and right

edges of circle or gap.

Good Example

• Object is fully visible on both sides.

• Object is well lit with minimal glare.

• Object is oriented to allow placement of cursors at left and right

edges of circle or gap.

Note: The system cannot accurately match points along

a smooth,

straight line. To measure along a smooth, straight line, use shadow

measurement. (If you must use stereo measurement, orient the image

so that the line is vertical.)

Both images were captured for length

measurement across the slot.
