Can I use a Result Element to report the Min and Max of Runout?

Like the topic says: Can I use a Result Element to report the Min and Max of Runout characteristic?
When I generate a Plot, it shows me Min and Max visually, but nothing with values.

Unless I am mistaken, all form (I know that Runout is a combo of form and location, but it used the Minimum Feature evaluation) characteristics will have an equal distance min/max deviation - as long as you are using the Minimum Feature evaluation.

So if that is the case, your min/max deviation is always just ± 1/2 your total deviation.

Are you trying to get the min and max radius values in case of radial runout or min and max dimensional values in case of axial runout, or are you just looking for the min and max values relative to the average or minimum feature like Richard described?

I believe min max of radial runout would be the answer, I don't think axial does anything more than axis point to axis point.
My plots do not coincide with Richard Shomaker.2's method (no disrespect meant), I do not see any deviation in the plot that would substantiate that calculation.
One feature is too narrow to scan as a cylinder, a narrow groove, the datum can be a cylinder but is currently a circle, that's what I inherited in this program.

Can you show an example of the Form Plot?

Rick,

You can use radius measurement with coordinates of the circle constrained to the desired datum(s).

If you take more points than you care to report, mask the results then use Min and Max Characteristic to find the least and greatest radius. As long as the fit, filter settings, etc. are equal, the difference between these two points should be exactly the radial runout.

I will edit this post tomorrow with a form plot.
