Height Measurement

Easson2D supports measuring height differences at multiple positions relative to the same reference surface using the probe.

During measurement, the first probe point serves as the unified reference. You can then continue capturing measurement points at different positions. Each time a new point is captured, the software automatically calculates the height difference between that point and the first reference point and generates a corresponding height element.

1. Select Height Measurement

Click:

Probe Measurement → Height Measurement

to enter the height measurement mode.

2. Measure the Reference Surface

First, move the probe to the surface that serves as the height reference.

Move the probe slowly so that the probe contacts the reference surface and is triggered.

Easson2D records the current measurement point as:

Point 1: the reference point

All subsequent height measurement results are uniformly based on this point.

3. Measure the First Workpiece Position

After the reference point is captured, move the probe to the workpiece surface whose height is to be measured.

Contact the probe with this position and trigger it.

The software automatically calculates:

the height difference between point 2 and point 1

and generates a height element.

4. Measure Multiple Heights Continuously

After point 2 is captured, you can continue moving the probe to other positions to capture points.

For example, you can continue capturing:

• Point 3
• Point 4
• Point 5
• More measurement points

Each time a new measurement point is captured, Easson2D automatically generates a new height element.

Note that subsequent heights are not compared with the previously captured point; instead, the first point 1 is always used as the unified reference.

For example:

• Height of point 2 = point 2 relative to point 1
• Height of point 3 = point 3 relative to point 1
• Height of point 4 = point 4 relative to point 1

This makes it easy to compare height variations at multiple positions relative to the same reference surface.

Basic Workflow

Height measurement can be summarized as:

Probe Measurement → Height Measurement → Capture point 1 on the reference surface → Capture point 2 on the workpiece surface and generate a height element → Continue capturing points 3, 4, 5... → Each subsequent point is calculated relative to point 1

Typical Applications

Height measurement is suitable for:

• Step height measurement
• Comparing multiple boss heights
• Comparing the depth of multiple slots
• Checking heights at different positions relative to the same reference surface
• Comparing Z-direction positions at multiple points

Measurement Recommendations

When performing height measurement, first choose a stable and reliable position for the reference surface.

Since all subsequent height results are based on the first point, the position of the first reference point directly affects the entire set of measurement results.

If the reference point is chosen incorrectly, restart the current height measurement and recapture the reference point and subsequent measurement points.
