PCDLRN ActiveX DLL > BasicScan Object : SetMethodParams Method
Required variable that sets 0 for Inside scans, 1 for Outside scans, and 2 for Plane Circle scans.
Required variable for Centering Scans that sets 0 for Axis Centering and 1 for Plane centering.
Required Long variable that sets  +1 for measurement with the direction of the probe and -1 for against the direction of probe.
Required Double variable that sets the diameter of the circle or cylinder scan, and zero otherwise.
Required Double variable that sets arc angle for circle and cylinder scans.
Required Double variable that sets the depth for circle and cylinder scans, and zero otherwise.
Required Double variable that sets Pitch for Cylinder scans.
SetMethodParams Method
Description
This method is provided as a shortcut to set these commonly used scan parameters all at once.
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Function SetMethodParams( _
   ByVal bIn As ENUM_SCAN_INOUT_TYPES, _
   ByVal bCenteringType As Boolean, _
   ByVal nCenteringDirection As Long, _
   ByVal dDiameter As Double, _
   ByVal dArcAngle As Double, _
   ByVal dDepth As Double, _
   ByVal dPitch As Double _
) As Boolean
Parameters
bIn
ValueDescription
SCAN_INNERInside scans
SCAN_OUTEROutside scans
SCAN_PLANARPlane Circle scans
Required variable that sets 0 for Inside scans, 1 for Outside scans, and 2 for Plane Circle scans.
bCenteringType
Required variable for Centering Scans that sets 0 for Axis Centering and 1 for Plane centering.
nCenteringDirection
Required Long variable that sets  +1 for measurement with the direction of the probe and -1 for against the direction of probe.
dDiameter
Required Double variable that sets the diameter of the circle or cylinder scan, and zero otherwise.
dArcAngle
Required Double variable that sets arc angle for circle and cylinder scans.
dDepth
Required Double variable that sets the depth for circle and cylinder scans, and zero otherwise.
dPitch
Required Double variable that sets Pitch for Cylinder scans.
Return Type
Boolean value. Boolean returns true if the function succeeds, false if it fails.
