Chapter 8 Parallelism Measurements
Making Coplanar Parallelism Measurements
Making the fourth set of measurements
To make the fourth set of measurements, repeat the steps in "Making the
second set of measurements." After you make the fourth set of
measurements, the Analyze Data: PARALLELISM screen is displayed.
You are now ready to calculate the total out-of-parallelism value.
Calculating the total out-of-parallelism value
To calculate the total out of parallelism value, follow these steps:
1
Square the parallelism value that you obtained from the first set of
measurements.
2
Square the parallelism value that you obtained from the second set of
measurements.
3
Add the two figures together.
4
Calculate the square root of the sum.
5
On the Analyze Data: PARALLELISM screen, Select Save Data to create
or update a data file with the measurement data.
Refer to the Agilent 5530 Getting Started Guide and online help for more
information about using the Analyze Data: PARALLELISM screen.
Otherwise you are finished making the measurement.
Making Coplanar Parallelism Measurements
In coplanar parallelism measurements, you can measure either axis first.
You make manual measurements as you advance the machine's moveable
part. The instructions explain how to make measurements using either
the Record button displayed on the screen or the optional remote control
unit. See Chapter 1, "Planning Your Measurements," for a description of
other triggering methods.
