2.2 Variable monitors – time Series – measurements and measurement series

2.2.4 Circularity test

Function description
The circularity test produces a polar plot of the circular path and circularity-specific
characteristics:
Characteristic
Circular deviation
Circular hysteresis
The measurement type-relevant parameters are also specified. The goal is to test
the drive dynamics and accuracy of the two axes involved.

Description
The circular deviation is measured on the basis of
ISO 230-4 as difference between the maximum and
minimum radius at movement of a circle in one direction.
A value is calculated for each direction of movement.
As defined in ISO 230-4 the circular hysteresis is
determined by establishing the maximum difference of
measured radii on an angular position between the two
directions of movement.
