The transformation settings are used to control how ranges are converted from sensor coordinates to
system coordinates.
The system coordinate transformation is normally set through the Gocator's automatic
calibration procedure (see page 119) and are locked by default. However, if the user needs to
manually adjust the transformation the settings are available in this section.
Element Description
Z Offset Specifies the shift along the z-axis. A positive value shifts the range towards the sensor.
Angle Specifies the angle of the sensor to the target.
When applying the transformations, Angle is applied before the Z offset.
To configure transformation settings:
1 Select the Range Mode.
2 Navigate to the Sensor panel.
Click the arrow next to Transformation to expand the panel. Click the Main or Buddy button to select
the sensor. Transformations can be configured separately for each sensor (click the arrow next to
Transformations to expand the settings).
3 Clicktheunlockbuttontomakethefieldseditable.
4 Set the parameter values.
5 Check that the transformation settings are applied correctly after ranging is restarted.

Mounting orientations need to be specified for a dual sensor (Buddy) system. This information allows
the Alignment or Travel Calibration procedures to determine the correct system-wide coordinates for
laser ranging and measurements. Refer to Coordinate Systems (page 43) in this chapter for more
information on sensor and system coordinates.
