How to pull individual points from a scan?

Not necessarily min or max points, but more like a sample of 15 points from a 1500 point scan...

  • I don't use scanning very often, but what about adding another scan to just repeat those 15 points you want to evaluate. 15 more hits wouldn't increase your runtime very much and then it would be much easier to analyze and easier to write the code?


    the area of the scan is very small, it's a special sealing surface that absolutely needs the profile reported on it. it's so small that i'm not sure i trust the CMM to start and stop in time and evaluate the surface properly. so i have created a scan that starts about .500 from the start of the surface and stops after it as well. i want to exclude the before and after areas and just concentrate on tevaluating the points taken in the small area.
