The numeric displays are defined by the options selected in Upper Num.
Display and Lower Num. Display. The top display indicates the actual
laser position or actual error. The lower display indicates the target or
encoder position.
You can also enter error and target values from the keyboard. This is
useful for testing, for entering data from another source, or for completing
a data set when the laser is unavailable.
The information from the numeric displays is presented in a table in the
Position/Error list box in the lower-left corner of the screen. You cannot
edit the values in the list box, but you can remove points by selecting
Erase Data. See “Erasing Measurement Data” in this chapter for more
information.
A status message is displayed beneath the list box indicating the travel
mode and run status; for example, “Bidir.: Run 3 of 10” (run 3 out of a total
of 10 runs in bidirectional mode).
Recording Measurement Data
The procedure for recording measurement data is determined by the
trigger mode you selected on the Set Up Measurement screen.
If you selected Record Button, either press the record button on the
remote control unit or select Record on this screen.
After you have completed all runs, your measurement is complete. You are
now ready to analyze the data you have collected. See Chapter 7 for
instructions on displaying, printing, transferring, and saving data.
