#### Supported Gage Types and Gage Parameters

PC-DMIS Vision supports a variety of gage types. Select a gage type from the Gage Type list. PC-DMIS Vision places parameters for the gage inside the Probe Toolbox. Double click these fields to edit them if you need a gage with specific dimensions.

Note: Selecting and editing gages is strictly visual; the software doesn't insert any commands into the part program.

The following table describes each gage type and then lists the parameters used by that gage:

Icon | Description | Available Parameters
| Cross Hair Gage. Use this to find a point. | Angle: The angle by which you rotate the gage. Display Type: Is the cross hair drawn in solid, dashed, or dotted lines. Gun Sight: Draws a circle around the cross hair to help locating. Tolerance: Allows tolerance lines to be drawn on the cross hair at a specified distance.
| Circle Gage. Use this to find a circle's diameter and center. | Diameter: Diameter of the circle gage
| Rectangle Gage. Use this to find a rectangle's height, width, and center. | Angle: The angle by which you rotate the gage. Width: Determines the width of the Rectangle Gage. Height: Determines the height of the Rectangle Gage.
| Protractor Gage. Use this for finding angles. | Included Angle: Determines the angle between the two lines making up this gage.
| Radius Chart Gage. Use this to find the relative change in diameter between concentric circles and the center. | Spacer: Defines the relative change in diameter between circles.
| Grid Chart Gage. Use this to find the relative distance between horizontal and vertical lines. | Grid: Defines the relative change in distance from one grid position to another.

Note: All gage types use the XYZ values to determine the gage's center relative to the Field of View center.
