Firing the Worm probe
Firing the worm probe causes a number of scans to be generated perpendicular
to and across the perimeter of the image edge in the perpendicular direction
indicated by the probe. Each scan acquires a data point at the edge of the
image. Click the middle mouse button or the Enter Pt
button to fire the probe.
This process of scanning to acquire points is functionally identical to firing a
series of simple probes across the image edge.
Changing the perpendicular scan direction
The perpendicular scan direction can be changed by clicking and dragging ei-
ther end of the worm probe rotationally.
To change the scan direction...
