Operator Reference
get_metrology_object_num_instances (Operator)
get_metrology_object_num_instances — Get the number of instances of the metrology objects of a metrology model.
Signature
get_metrology_object_num_instances( : : MetrologyHandle, Index : NumInstances)
Description
get_metrology_object_num_instances allows to access the number of
instances (results) of measurements applied by apply_metrology_model
for the metrology objects. Note that by default, the maximum number of
instances of each metrology object is set to 1. Thus, by default,
the result of get_metrology_object_num_instances will typically be
1 as well. To allow more instances, before applying the measurement
with apply_metrology_model you have to explicitly set the parameter
'num_instances' to a higher value or to 'all' using
set_metrology_object_param.
For an explanation of the concept of 2D metrology see the introduction of chapter 2D Metrology.
The metrology model is defined by the handle MetrologyHandle. The
parameter Index specifies for which metrology object the instances
are queried. For Index set to 'all', the number of
instances of all metrology objects are returned. The number of instances is
returned in NumInstances for each metrology object that was passed
in Index.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
MetrologyHandle (input_control) metrology_model → (handle)
Handle of the metrology model.
Index (input_control) integer(-array) → (integer / string)
Index of the metrology objects.
Default: 0
Suggested values: 'all', 0, 1, 2
NumInstances (output_control) integer(-array) → (real / integer)
Number of Instances of the metrology objects.
Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator
get_metrology_object_num_instances returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If
necessary, an exception is raised.
