• 192.5mm (from tribrach mounting surface to this mark)
• 236mm (from tribrach dish (TR-102) to this mark)

Independent Angle Calibration System (IACS) technology
(CX-101/102 only)
This revolutionary technology provides an even higher level of stability and
reliability for angle measurement. With IACS technology, the instrument
independently calibrates angle to a high degree of accuracy, and eliminates
the need for a reference standard instrument when performing calibration.

Independent angle calibration cannot be performed by the user.
Consult your local dealer.
