## Freeform Plane Dialog – Properties tab

Use the Properties tab to set the Theo Vector and the parameters for filtering.

To set the properties for the freeform plane:

1. Select the Properties tab:

Freeform Plane Dialog dialog box – Properties tab

2. Complete the items on the Properties tab.

Note: To display the parameters for a specific area, click the arrow to the left of the area's heading. To hide the parameters, click the arrow.

Item | Description
Feature area | Use the parameters in this area to set the ID and the theoretical vector. I D box – Enter the ID of the feature. Theo Vector box – Enter the theoretical vector of the plane.
Filter area | Use the parameters in this area to control the filtering parameters. Outlier Multiple list – Select the appropriate option:

- None: No outliers are removed.

- 3 Sigma: Outliers beyond three standard deviations are removed.

Type list – Select the type of filter to use: None or ISO Linear.

Wavelength box – Enter the wavelength.

Scan area | Use the parameters in this area to control the scan settings. Prehit/Retract box – Specify the distance of a prehit and retract move for each scan segment. A value of 0.0 disables these moves. Probing Period (ms) box – This parameter applies only to B3 controllers (non-VHSS scans). It controls the number of milliseconds between path points.

Read File Prior to Execution list – Specify whether the scan will read in a text file each time it executes:

- True: The scan will read in a text file each time it executes. This allows automation applications to change the path at each execution.

- False: The scan will not read in a text file each time it executes.

Read File Prior to Execution File box – Enter the path and name of the file to be read in prior to execution.

Scan Speed area | Use the parameters in this area to specify which scan speed to use, and the scan speed. Override Scan Speed list – Select the scan speed to use:

- True: Use the Scan Speed parameter.

- False: Use the part program’s scan speed.

Scan Speed box – Enter the speed of the machine while it scans the part.

Flip Vector button | Click this button to flip the Theo Vector.
