Defining a reference
plane
Reference Plane
P1
GPS12_146
Reference planes are created using a right hand system. For two points defining a plane, a
vertical plane is used. A reference plane is defined with the X axis and the Z axis of the plane.
The Y axis of the plane defines the positive direction of the plane. A reference plane can be
defined in the following ways:
•
vertical
•
tilted
•
For GPS1200 the Reference Plane application program is only applicable for tilted plane
definitions.
•
For TPS1200, the Reference Plane application program is also applicable for vertical
plane definitions.
