Sniff Binary
This tool will find a black and white edge
and display it as points in the viewer. It will also display the
results in the Parameters page.
Using
the Sniff Binary Tool
Drag and drop the tool from its original location directly into the CIF Viewer.
The ROI box can be moved manually with the mouse to decide the
starting point for where the points need to be found. The user can drag
this box all around the image on the CIF viewer to find the place to
begin.
Left
click on the ROI that will appear within the viewer to bring up the the tool's properties pages.
The image below is an example of how the points will be displayed within the viewer once the tool is run.
Inputs
The inputs page is set up to run. Clear any
items that are in the "Start box" should the default have something
there (the "start" box is the bottom of the four boxes).
Parameters
This page will allow the user to set the information for the points they want to find.
Points:
this section will give the location of points found once the tool is
run (it has found points if this box displays "????", this means that
the tool can be input into another tool using those points).
Count: this section gives how many points were found.
Min: the user sets the minimum color value.
Max: the user sets the maximum color value.
Noise: points found smaller than this defined size (in pixels) are ignored.
Skip:
The number placed here will be the number of points it skips between
points displayed (this helps minimize congestion if multiple areas meet
the criteria).
MaxNbPoints: This will only display up to the amount of points that are placed in this category.
Clockwise: Placing
an X in the clockwise box will look for points around the edge that is
clockwise. Un X-ing the box find the points that are counter clockwise
on the shape/image.
The rest of the options will indicate the different ways the information can be displayed within the CIF viewer.
Once the tool is run it will display the number of points found in the "Count" box.
