Step 4 – Setup Test Project
Set up a new project with the line length you
want and the number of points you want to use
to measure the line segment.
Step 4 – Record the Values
Go to Step 2 and select the line segment you
want to record. Record the data for that line
segment. You can then go to Step 3 and see
the data in the table for that line segment. Note
there won’t be any calculations unless you
have all the data recorded.
Note – you can easily export this data to a CSV
file to open in Excel by clicking the Export
Line menu item under the Tools menu.
You can then roughly estimate the flatness or
do the math in an Excel file as shown below.
To roughly estimate the flatness, average the 2
end points and then subtract that value from
each point. The highest (or most negative)
value is the rough flatness error. Make sure to
keep track of the signs!
To get the true flatness, see the next page for the math calculations using Excel.
