Select the contents of the geometric calculation to be performed from the drop-down box. One of the following can be selected:
- [Distance]
- Considering the points found by [Locator 1] and [Locator 2] as the input point 1 and 2 individually, the geometric calculation tool calculates the distance between the two points.
- The resulting value is in pixels by default, but in mm if [Measurements in mm] in the vision process is checked.
- [3-Point Angle]
- Considering the points found by [Locator 1], [Locator 2] and [Locator 3] as the input point 1, 2 and 3 individually, the geometric calculation tool calculates the angle generated by the three points, as shown in the figure below.
- The resulting value is in degrees. When the input point 3 is on the right of the line passing from the input point 1 to the input point 2, the resulting value is a positive value. Otherwise, it is a negative value.
