Chapter 4 Angular Measurements
Mounting and Aligning the Optics on the Target Machine
If you previously made linear measurements using the mounting
hardware the angular optics are now on, the optics are already aligned.
Since you aligned the laser beam to the machine's travel path prior to
making the linear measurement, you can go directly to "Making the
Measurement" later in this chapter.

If you did not previously make linear measurements, you must align the
optics. Continue with the next section, "Aligning the optics."
