Chapter 11 Diagonal Measurements
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter explains how to make diagonal measurements, used for
volumetric analysis, as described in ANSI standard B5.54. It also
describes how to set up the measurement optics to make measurements on
a slant-bed lathe.
Before performing the procedures described in this chapter, you must fully
understand and know how to perform the procedures presented in the
Agilent 5530 Getting Started Guide.
The Diagonal Measurement procedure differs from other Agilent 5530
calibrator measurement procedures in that it does not proceed along a
single path from Set-Up Laser to Analyze Data. The data required for a
diagonal measurement consists of the data from four linear
measurements, each made along a body diagonal of the workspace you
want to evaluate. If you already have existing data you want to analyze,
you can simply recall it, using the Recall Data button on the Main Menu.
If you need to acquire data for analysis, the preferred path is to start with
the diagonal measurement's Set Up Laser menu and then proceed along
the Set Up Measurement-Collect Data-Analyze Data path; note that this
process must be performed for each diagonal axis whose data you need.
To help visualize the major steps in making a diagonal measurement,
refer to the flowchart in Figure 11-1.
