Help:Ref.Value

The Re-measure (Ref.Value) function of TM-Navigator displays the measurement result (Re-measure (Ref.Value)) by using the measurement image obtained from the head and head data to make adjustments. The head data to be used is saved on the hard disk drive in the computer and is changed according to the following conditions.

• When receiving the settings from the controller: The head data for the connected head is overwritten and saved.

• When selecting "Head Select": The initial data in TM-Navigator is overwritten and saved.

In the following cases, the measurement result by Remeasure may differ from the actual measurement value by the controller. In these cases, use the Re-measure value as a reference value.

• When the head that measured the image for Remeasure is different from the head that obtained the head data saved on the computer

• When the head data is the initial data in TM-Navigator

To match the Re-measure value with the actual value measured by the controller, receive the settings from the controller before re-measurement.

Click the [Re-measure (Ref.Value)] button.

The display shows that the [Re-measure (Ref.Value)] button is pressed down, and "OUT meas" and "Element" are displayed.
