3. DISPLAYS AND KEY OPERATIONS
3.1.1.2 Setting the segment
Set the objective portion of a workpiece to be measured.
The highlighted and shaded portions created when the laser scans over the workpiece are
controlled with each assigned number. In the basic setup a selection must be made from one
of two cases: case where there are 1 to 4 highlighted and shaded sections, and case where
there are 1 to 127 similar sections. In the former case the portions are controlled through the
segment number, and are simply called segments. In the latter case the portions are controlled
by the edge number (edge number is between 1 and 255) and called edges. Edge numbers
equal to or greater than 256 are not available.

• A maximum of 4 highlighted sections and a
maximum of 3 shaded sections can be measured.
• Multiple segments can be specified at the same
time.
• Specify segments 1 to 3 for a transparent object.
• A maximum of 127 highlighted sections and a
maximum of 127 shaded sections can be mea-
sured.
• Always specify the start edge and finish edge
numbers. These two edges can be either contin-
ued or separated. However, they must not be
identical.
• Edge numbers can not be specified for a transpar-
ent object.
• If automatic measurement is specified in the basic
setup, intervals, outside diameters, or gaps
between the same shape of multiple pins can be
automatically measured.
