Display of Result in Arc-Seconds (LDS-Vector)

The calibration certificate gives the values Ycoef, Zcoef, Yincr and Zincr for
result display in µrad. In general, Yincr and Zincr are equal to 1. The resolu-
tion of the display is then 0.1 µrad.
To display the result in arc-sec:
Thus we will use the increments Yincr = 0.2 and Zincr = 0.2. That gives dis-
play limits of -400 to + 400.
The values Ycoef and Zcoef are corrected by 1.0309:
Ycoef
Zcoef
The unit sec will be chosen.
You are advised not to delete the initial parameters, in µrad. You only need
to program a new sensor number.

Programming a New Sensor

When an LDS-Vector autocollimator is delivered with its electronic control-
ler, the sensor parameters are fed into the memory of the controller. The
number 0 is used for the current sensor.
The other memories are normally empty, and the values of the parameters
are therefore equal to the default values.
To program a new sensor, a spare place must be found, generally recogni-
zable when S/N = 000000. You can choose to delete an existing sensor.
Access to the mode that enables rapid visualization of the various heads is
obtained by the sequence:
It is then possible to modify the number of the current sensor:
(F2) Previous number (-1).
(F3) Next number (+1).
(F4) Visualization of parameters of the sensor envisaged.
(F5) Save the new configuration.
Programming the new sensor is done by the
of sensor parameters).
