# PTCA - Post Thread Cut Angle

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST STB IXB

This step monitor measures the maximum angle reached during the monitor and checks that it is between High limit and Low limit.

The Trigger Torque level is ignored until the end of the Thread cut angle window is reached. After that, the angle measuring starts as soon as the measured torque is above Trigger Torque.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Stop condition | It specifies where the angle measurement ends: End End point used: the angle at the end of the monitor. Peak Torque End point used: the angle at the point where the highest torque was reached during the monitor. Shut Off End point used: the angle at the shut off point of the step. Peak End point used: the highest angle reached during the monitor. | Shut Off
Trigger torque | The angle measurement starts at this trigger. Minimum limit: must be >= 0 Maximum limit: must be < Tool Max Torque | 0
Low Limit | Lowest acceptable angle. Minimum limit: must be >= 0 Maximum limit: must be < 9 999 999 and < High Limit | Not set
High Limit | Highest acceptable angle. Minimum limit: Must be > 0 and > Low Limit Maximum limit: must be < 9 999 999 | Not set
Thread cut trigger torque | Minimum limit: must be >= 0 Maximum limit: must be < Tool Max Torque | Not set
Thread cut angle window | Minimum limit: must be >= 0 Maximum limit: must be < 9 999 999 | 0

## Result Values

- Angle Measured: the angle measured by the monitor.
