On the Set Up Laser: PARALLELISM screen, do the following:
•
In the Measurement Axis box, select Coplanar.
•
In the Measurement Axis box, select W.
"W" tells the system this is the second axis measurement.
Repeat steps 3 through 8 in the last section, "Making the first axis
measurement."
Move the second axis moveable part. A pop-up window is displayed. The
parallelism value for the two axes is displayed in the Parallelism field.
Select Save Data to create or update a data file with the measurement
data. Refer to the Agilent 5530 Getting Started Guide and online help for
more information about using the Analyze Data: PARALLELISM screen.
Otherwise, you are finished making the measurement.
