INTRODUCTION
This
User's Guide section
provides instructions for measu ring a distance
along
the Laser beam
.
Keep in mind thatlhe Distance measureme nt is made by measuring the change in position
of
one
of
the Optics whi
le
the
other
Optic is held
stationary. See
Appendix
A
for
a description
of
the
principles on
whi ch this measurement is based
