### Probe Toolbox: Hit Targets tab

Probe Toolbox—Hit Targets tab

This tab only appears when you define and use a supported Vision probe.

The Hit Targets tab shows the edge detection and focus parameters that will be used to measure a feature.

When using a Vision probe, you will want to make adjustments and test your targets. This option also allows you to split the default target into sub-targets, each with its own set of parameters. For example, you can measure a circle using the default single target or split the circle into individual arcs each with its own set of target parameters. These target parameters include edge detection method, illumination, point density, etc.

An example arc showing seven targets, with four active (Normal) target regions. Notice that each target in the targets list has its own set of target parameters

A feature’s targets and their associated parameters are displayed as a row in the tab's target list. You can define more than one target. If you select one or more targets from this list you can see them in bold formatting in the Live View tab of the Graphics Display window.

Double click on the items in the list to change the parameters for a target. You can change multiple targets at the same time by selecting multiple target rows in the Probe Toolbox and then right clicking.

Targets are displayed in both the Live View and the Cad View. While it’s possible to size the targets in either view, the targets are two dimensional so it's easier to do this on the Live View which also uses a two dimensional display of the part.
