[Edge Color - for Color Cameras Only (Scan Edge Position)]

Set the criteria with which to search for an edge.

In the "Item tab" area, tap [Edge color].
If necessary, check [Edge color specification] in the "Color setting" area.
When checked, the edge will be detected according to the subsequently specified "Edge color" and "Detection mode".
When unchecked, positions in the measurement region where the color changes drastically are detected as edges.
Specify the color that is used as the edge (the reference color with which to detect the edge).
In the "Color setting" area, tap [...] for each of [R] (red), [G] (green), and [B] (blue), and input the values respectively.

The specified color is displayed in the "Color setting" area.
Using the edge color as the reference, specify the allowable color differences for detecting the edges.
In the "Color setting" area, tap [...] for each of [Difference R], [Difference G], and [Difference B], and input the values respectively. The larger the "Difference" values, the larger the color range that is used to detect the edge.
The default value of each "Difference" is "5".

Color IN This is the mode in which the position where colors other than the specified edge color start to change to the specified edge color is detected as the edge. Color OUT This is the mode in which the position where the specified edge color starts to change to colors other than the specified edge color is detected as the edge.
