Banner PresencePLUS BCR 1.3 Series - Manual (Page 194)

tool also calculates the line between the two endpoints. The software reports the angle between this line and
the camera’s horizontal plane, as well as the coordinates for the line’s midpoint.
As shown below, the Measure tool window shows the settings and results of the inspection. In the inspection
image, the two points Edge_1 and Edge_2 define the dashed red line that runs from top left to bottom right.
The actual measured distance between the points is the solid line labeled MT_1, and the solid red triangle is
the line’s midpoint. MT_1’s direction is the direction of the measurement operation: from Edge_1 to Edge_2.
The two shorter dashed lines represent the x- and y-components. The angle between MT_1 and the horizontal
plane is the curved clockwise arrow. In the Results section of the Measure Tool window, this angle is listed as
+53.11 degrees.
How the Tool Measures Two Lines
This mode finds the angle between two lines. Both inputs are existing Measure tools. The order in which these
tools are input does matter.
The intersection point can well be off the screen. This angle gives the ability to measure two lines for parallelism.
