4.4.4 Apply the vertical laser offset adjustment to the measured XYZ lever arm
The vertical laser offset adjustment can now be applied to the initial physical XYZ lever arm measurement.
Two examples are illustrated in Figure 20 below.
Example 1 – the Merlin LT is set at a 90° vertical angle and 22.5° cw horizontal angle:
• Measured offsets to mounting plate: X = 0.9, Y = 1.8, Z = 1.0
•

X = 0.044, Y = 0.107, Z = 0.230
• Final lever arm offset: X = 0.944 m, Y = 1.907 m, Z = 1.230 m
Example 2 – the Merlin LT is set at 45° vertical angle and 45° cw horizontal angle:
• Measured offsets: X = -0.5, Y= -1.5, Z = 1.0
•

X = -0.058, Y = -0.058, Z = 0.312.
• Final lever arm offset: X = -0.558 m, Y = -1.558 m, Z = 1.312 m
