Set Coordinate System FAQs

Q: Why are there no measurements listed in the X-Axis Angle listbox?

You must configure a step that defines an x-axis angle or produces a numeric result for the X-Axis Angle listbox to contain items. You can use Match Pattern, Find Straight Edge, and Geometry to define an x-axis angle or steps such as the Calculator or Run LabVIEW VI steps that produce numeric results or a variable.

Q: I want to select an x-axis angle but the items in the X-Axis Angle list are dimmed. What should I do?

Select the Horizontal, Vertical, and Angular Motion option of the Mode control to enable the X-Axis Angle list.

Q: What steps should I use to find features on which to base a coordinate system origin?

Coordinate system origins are based on feature locations. You can locate features using the following steps: Find Edges, Find Straight Edge, Find Circular Edge, Detect Objects, Match Pattern, Caliper, and Geometry.
