Chapter 11 Diagonal Measurements
Calculating Angles
b. Use the Agilent 5530 calibrator's Set Up Laser window to calculate
the angles required for setup:
•
the azimuth angle (α) of the body diagonal planes on the XY plane
(Figure 11-4), and
•
the elevation angle (β) of the body diagonals, in the diagonal
planes
c. Program the machine to traverse the four body diagonals to be
measured.
Calculating Angles
The Agilent 5530 calibrator's diagonal measurement software calculates
the azimuth and elevation angles for you, as you enter the dimensions of
the workspace to be analyzed. See distances 2, 3, and 4 in Figure 11-4.
Placing and Using the Sensors
Sensor placement for diagonal measurements is the same as that for
Agilent 5530 calibrator linear measurements. Refer to Chapter 2, "Linear
Measurements," in this guide for information.
