Distance and is the distance from the 3D Phase Measurement tip to the surface at the point of the active cursor Unlike stereo measurements 3D Phase Measurements do not use Accuracy Index Taking 3D Phase Measurements As with other measurement types Phase Measurement accuracy improves as tip to target distance is reduced The range finder bar icon can be used to gauge the suitability of the current tip to target distance for a given measurement When the surface is too far for measurement a single bar is shown and measurement should not be attempted As the tip is moved closer to the surface more bars are illuminated Large length measurements may be performed with few bars illuminated while still achieving good accuracy In general the best accuracy is achieved by getting as close to the surface as possible Accuracy is generally best when viewing a surface from approximately a 45 angle especially on surfaces that are shiny or have a speckled appearance When measuring surfaces with steps or long deep features a side view tip will give better results if the feature or step is horizontal as shown at right A front view tip will give better results if the feature or step is vertical This is due to the LED orientations in the tips To Capture a 3D Phase Measurement Image Step 1 Attach either a forward view or side view 3D Phase Measurement optical tip to the probe Each measurement tip must be factory calibrated to a particular
