Array Tools

Array tools let you create and work with arrays, or extract individual elements from an array.

Arrays can contain any type of data supported in GoPxL (such as Surface or Profile data, or measurements). For more information on this and on arrays in general, see Arrays, Batching, and Aggregation.

The following Array tools are available:

• Array Decision: Takes an array of measurements and lets you apply different minimum/maximum thresholds to each measurement in the array.
  

  The tool is typically used in electronics pin inspection applications.
  

  For more information on this tool, see Array Decision.

• Array Index: Takes an array of data as input and extracts one or more pieces of data at the user-provided index. You can then perform measurements on the individual outputs, or perform measurements using more than one piece of data, such as measuring the thickness represented by two profiles or surfaces.

  Usage examples include separating the multiple layers produced by a confocal sensor into individual profiles or surfaces.

  For more information on this tool, see Array Index.

• Array Create: Takes individual inputs and creates an array containing those pieces of data as elements. For more information on this tool, see Array Create.
