Figure 3-14. In-Plane Mechanical Angle Error
The angle error shown for the in-plane alignment appears quite extreme. With the assembly alignment errors for
this test setup, a very dramatic angle error resulted. Even with this extreme of an error, it is still possible to apply
a calibration to the end result to achieve accuracy below 0.1°.
