Chapter 3 Timebase Measurements
Making the Measurement
Complete the fields on the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen.
If necessary, use the online help to complete these fields.
On the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen, select Reset Position.
This tells the system that the current position of the reflector is the "zero"
point from which all distances will be measured.
If necessary, use the online help to complete the rest of the fields on this
screen.
If at any point the Reset Laser message flashes, the laser beam path has
been broken. The system treats this as a Stop Timer condition. It exits
from the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen to the Analyze Data:
TIMEBASE screen and analyzes the data it has taken. You cannot resume
the interrupted measurement. Return the machine and measurement
optics to the starting position and then restart the measurement.
Select the Start Timer or Arm Timer button or press the record button on
your remote control unit.
This tells the system to clear the graph. The lower numeric display is set
to zero. If Record Button was specified for Start Timer on the Set Up
Measurement: TIMEBASE screen, the timer and data collection will start
immediately. Otherwise, the timer is held off until the specified starting
position is reached or crossed.
The timer stops automatically when the Stop Timer condition specified on
the Set Up Measurement: TIMEBASE screen is met.
You can also stop the timer by performing one of the following actions:
•
Press the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen's Stop Timer button.
•
Exit from the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen.
•
Press the record button on the remote control unit.
On the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen, select Analyze Data.
