Profile Intersect

The Intersect tool determines intersect points and angles.

The Intersect tool's measurements require two fit lines, one of which is a reference line set to one of the following:

the X axis (z = 0)
the Z axis (x = 0)
a user-defined line

For information on adding, managing, and removing tools, as well as detailed descriptions of settings common to most tools, see Tool Configuration.

Inputs

You configure the tool's inputs in the expandable Inputs section.

To use a measurement as an anchor, it must be enabled and properly configured in the tool providing the anchor. For more information on anchoring, see Measurement Anchoring.

Inputs
Name	Description
Enable Batching	When Enable Batching is checked, the tool takes an array as input and processes each profile in the array individually. There is no limit to the size of the array, other than processing limitations of the sensor. When Enable Batching is unchecked, the tool takes either a single profile, or an array of profiles with a maximum of two elements. If the input is an array, the tool will aggregate the data in the array, and process that data as a whole. For more information on arrays, batching, and aggregating, see Arrays, Batching, and Aggregation.
Profile Input	The data the tool applies measurements to or processes. This tool can optionally take an array as input. If Enable Batching is disabled and the passed array contains more than two elements, GoPxL displays an error. For more information, see Arrays, Batching, and Aggregation.
Anchor X or Anchor Z	The X or Z measurement of another tool that this tool uses as a positional anchor. Positional anchors are optional.

Parameters

You configure the tool's parameters in the expandable Parameters section.

Parameters
Parameter	Description
Reference Type	Determines the type of the reference line. One of the following: X Axis, Z Axis, or Line. X-AxisThe reference line is set to the X axis. Z-Axis: The reference line is set to the Z axis. Line: You define the reference line manually using the parameters in the Base Line section. You can define the line using one or two regions.
Line	You can use one or two fit areas for the fit line. To set the region (or regions) of the fit line, adjust it graphically in the data viewer, or expand the feature and enter the values in the fields. For more information on regions, see Regions. For more information on fit lines, see Fit Lines.
Base Line	Used to define the reference line when the Reference Type parameter is set to Line. For more information on regions, see Regions. For more information on fit lines, see Fit Lines.
Angle Range	Determines the range returned by the Angle measurement. One of the following: -90 – 90 0 – 180
External ID	The external ID of the tool that appears in GoHMI Designer. For more information, see GoHMI and GoHMI Designer.

Outputs

All tools provide measurements, geometric features, or data as outputs.

You configure the Min and Max parameters by expanding the measurement in the Outputs section. In order for a measurement to return a Pass decision, the measurement must be between maximum and minimum values; the range is inclusive.

Measurements
Measurement	Illustration
X Finds the intersection between two fitted lines and measures the X axis position of the intersection point.
Z Finds the intersection between two fitted lines and measures the Z axis position of the intersection point.
Angle Finds the angle subtended by two fitted lines.

Features
Type	Description
Intersect Point	The point of intersection.
Line	The intersect line.
Base Line	The base line.
