The CI-202 measures length, width, area, and perimeter, and calculates ratio and shape factor once a measurement is completed.

Each time the control unit detects that the laser scanner has progressed 1 mm, the computer checks to see if the width reading is non-zero. If the width measurement is non-zero, the computer takes the following actions:

• The length measurement is increased by 1 mm.
• The width measurement is added to the area accumulator.
• If the width measurement is greater than the currently stored maximum width, the maximum width is updated.
