3-107 Laser Address Selection
Accept Readings key
Use the Accept Readings key, when the laser head positions and data are as desired,
to store the data at the active cardinal position. Each time a data point is stored the
next cardinal position in the clockwise direction is selected (highlighted with the
red box around it).
Hide Laser Angle key
Use the Hide Laser Angle key on the Alt Manual 4 Point screen to hide the laser
angle. This option is necessary when performing alignments on vertically mounted
machinery where the movement is at the feet instead of a flange and on machinery
where the clock positions relative to vertical and horizontal base movements of the
machine are nonstandard. This option can also be changed from the Alt Laser
Head Status screen and the Manual 4 Point Live Move option.
Show Laser Angle key
Use the Show Laser Angle key similarly as you would the Hide Laser Angle key
except this key is used to show the laser angle if it is hidden. This option can also be
changed from the Alt Laser Head Status screen and the Manual 4 Point Live Move
option.
The current laser reading (in mils or mm, depending on the analyzer units) for
each laser head is displayed in reverse video just below the corresponding angle
position.
The traditional cardinal positions (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°) are displayed graphically
at the bottom of the screen just below the corresponding laser reading. The active
position (highlighted with the red box around it) is the one for which data is being
acquired.
Left and Right Arrow keys
Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to manually select the active cardinal position.
When using this method, you must be very careful to get the desired readings into
the desired positions. All readings should be 90° from each other, but this does
allow the program to handle special circumstances where the shaft of the machine
is not in the horizontal plane. There are no safeguards against data being placed in
the wrong position.
