Specify the criteria with which edges are searched.

In the "Item tab" area, tap [Edge color].
If necessary, check [Edge color specification] in the "Color setting" area.
After checking, continue to measure the edges based your expected [Edge color] and [Detection mode].
If not checking, the position where the changing rate of color in the measurement region will be detected as the edge.
Select the color that will be used as the edge (the reference color with which the edge is detected).
In the "Color setting" area, tap [...] for each of "R" (red), "G" (green), and "B" (blue), and specify a value respectively.

In the "Color setting" area, tap [...] for each of "Difference R", "Difference G", and "Difference B", and specify a value respectively.
The bigger the "Difference" value, the bigger the color range that is used as basis for recognizing an edge.
The defaulted value are all "5".
