### Laser Probe Toolbox: Laser Clipping Region Properties tab

Laser Clipping Region Properties tab

The Laser Clipping Region Properties tab allows you to set parameters to discard data outside a specified region, within the sensors field of view. This lets you keep only pertinent data.

Keystone: The large green trapezoid in the Laser View (see below) that represents the sensor’s maximum field of view. The clipping region is within this field of view.

Sensor Based Clipping region: The smaller green trapezoid within the sensor’s field of view.

The Top, Left, Right, and Bottom boxes can be set with values from 0 to 100 percent that allow control over the clipping region. This lets you discard data that is not needed.

When the Bottom and Left values are at 0% and the Top and Right values are at 100%, the sensor will keep all of the data collected because the clipping region is the same as the maximum field of view.

Example of clipping data using Top 85, Bottom 85, Left 15, and Right 15

You can use the clipping region, for example, when measuring a hole. Since you wouldn’t want data from a neighboring hole to interfere with the feature computation, you can control the area that is clipped, thereby discarding the unwanted data.
