Chapter 11 Diagonal Measurements
Making Your Measurement
At its simplest, a diagonal measurement is a linear distance measurement
along a line that is not necessarily parallel to nor perpendicular to one or
more of the machine's major axes (X, Y, or Z). As such, a diagonal
measurement is subject to the same accuracy problems as any other laser
linear distance measurement. For more information about this, read the
appropriate information in your measurement system documentation. In
particular, see the discussion of cosine error.

In the absence of any special instructions, record and save your diagonal
measurement data in the same way you take your linear distance
measurement data.
After the Agilent 5530 calibrator has finished collecting the required data,
it will automatically switch to the Analyze Data: DIAGONAL screen
shown in Figure 11-13.
