### Probe Toolbox: Gage tab

Probe Toolbox—Gage tab

The Gage tab provides you with a variety of tools called "gages" that allow you to make quick optical comparisons over features that you are measuring without having to create a part program. Gages can be used were edges are indiscriminate, or difficult to ascertain automatically.

For step by step examples of working with each gage type see "Using Vision Gages".

The gage provides nominal information that you can type into dialog boxes to create the desired nominal feature. You can also capture the information to clipboard or BMP file to paste into a report.

Sometimes called "hand gages", these tools are geometric shapes that appear on your screen. You can manipulate these shapes by rotating, sizing, and positioning them on your part with your mouse to find out nominal information about a particular feature, such as position, diameter, angle and so forth.

Available Gages

There is no automatic image processing associated with these gages, they are simply tools that you visually adjust to fit a feature on the image.
