IMAQ Fit Contour VI

Contour Image is a reference to the image containing a contour.

Pixel Radius specifies the neighborhood pixel relationship for the initial subset of points being used.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

	status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
	code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
	source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Contour Image Out is a reference to the image containing a contour.

Line Segment represents the intersection of the line equation and the contour.

	Point1 (Pixels) is the start point of the calculated fit line in pixel units. X is the x-coordinate of the point. Y is the y-coordinate of the point.
	Point2 (Pixels) is the end point of the calculated fit line in pixel units. X is the x-coordinate of the point. Y is the y-coordinate of the point.

Line Equation is a cluster of three coefficients A, B, and C of the equation in the normal form (Ax + By + C=0) of the best fit line.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

Pixel Radius specifies the acceptable distance, in pixels, that a point determined to belong to the circle can be from the perimeter of the circle.

Reject Outliers? controls whether to use every given radial point or only a subset of the points to fit the circle. If this control is TRUE, the algorithm determines the best subset of points to use and ignores the outliers (the points outside the subset). If this control is FALSE, the algorithm uses every given point.
