3.5.5 Measuring vertical and horizontal distances
You can measure the horizontal distance (on the x-axis) and vertical distance (on the y-axis)
between two cross hairs you display on the screen.
1) Right-click on Cross . The button will change to C.Msr. .
2) Select the C.Msr. icon. Two cross hairs will be displayed on the screen.
To move a cross hair, click the center or one of the lines and drag to the desired position.
Move both cross hairs near the object to measure the portion of the object between the
horizontal and vertical axes. The x-axis distance and y-axis distance are displayed near
the center of the cross hairs.
3) To change line colors, press Color . Seven colors are available: red, green, cyan, yellow,
magenta, white, and black.
4) To clear the display, press C.Msr. once again.
Normally, the axes for measuring vertical and horizontal distances are displayed on the
screen but not printed on or saved with images.
To apply axes to saved images or to print axes along with images, select the "Cross" check box
from the REC menu.
NOTE:
* Creating or displaying superimposed images while measuring vertical and
horizontal distances will stop measurement and hide the cross hairs. You
can resume vertical and horizontal measurement after creating or displaying
the superimposed image.
* Normally, values with these functions are labeled with the units "nm," "µm,"
"mm," or "cm." However, if calibration values are selected after inch/mil
conversion, they are labeled "mil," and an "E" is indicated, representing inch
conversion.
