IV3 Vision Sensor Support | Tools | Width

the with tools used for detecting the distance between two edges based off contrast in the image it Compares this width to the width of the master image and gives a matching rate percentage the matching rate can be scaled to display a measurement value in millimeters note this is not a measurement tool but used for detecting between different sized parts or OK no good parts let's go through an example I'm going to use this with tool simulator file to walk through step by step how to set up the width tool first let's go into sensor settings as you can see I have a master image saved already of this rectangle I'm going to jump to step three my to ol settings and add a tool and under the extra one tab select my width tool the first thing it'll ask me is if I am checking the width in a horizontal direction or a vertical Direction in my example I'm going to use and hit OK and you can see it gives me this yellow box on my image this is my tool window so I'm going to expand my window to look over my target and you can see it provides two green lines where it sees those two edges and it's going to calculate the width between those edges so note that you can change the angle of your window and add a mask as needed if you need to block out or ignore a portion within the window you can do that here but next you have the edge sensitivity settings if I go ahead and hit settings you can see it gives this graph with Peaks where it detects edges so right now it detects an edge going from this white to black and then it
