Reference Plane

Reference Plane is a program used to measure points relative to a reference plane. It
can be used for the following tasks:
• Measuring a point to calculate and store the perpendicular offset to the plane.
• Calculating the perpendicular distance from the intersection point to the local X-
and Z-axis. The intersection point is the footprint point of the perpendicular vector
from the measured point through the defined plane.
• Viewing, storing and staking out the coordinates of the intersection point.
A reference plane is created by measuring three points on a plane. These three points
define a local coordinate system:
• The first point is the origin of a local coordinate system.
• The second point defines the direction of the local Z-axis.
• The third point defines the plane.

1. Select Programs from the Main Menu.
2. Select Ref.Plane from the Programs Menu.
3. Complete program pre-settings. Refer to "6 Programs - Getting Started".
1. Once the plane has been defined by three points, the Measure target point!
screen appears.
2. Measure and record the target point. The results are displayed in the Reference
Plane Result screen.
