Measure/Headtest Dialog Box
Measure/Headtest Screen A and B are printed out from our Measure/Headtest selection in our windows
software. In this screen, you will see Lasercheck values displayed beside numbers 1 to 37. Numbers 1 to 35 are
voltage readings from the 35 array detectors. Also displayed is a sum of voltages from all detectors and a
“relative” height standoff calculation. Nothing is displayed beside number 40. Measure/Headtest can be used to
assist in alignment of the Lasercheck head.
Measure/Headtest Screen A
Measure/Headtest Screen A shows a well-aligned smoother surface. A well-defined specular beam is maintained
as it bounces off the surface into Lasercheck. It displays itself as the largest voltage readings in the array at # 6. A
relative indication of the Lasercheck standoff height from the surface is also indicated.
Note: this Standoff
Distance calculation is a relative reading only; the absolute values are not correct.
If Lasercheck were moved
away from the surface, the specular laser beam would move up to detectors # 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 etc. and the standoff
reading indication would increase. If Lasercheck were moved closer to the surface, the specular laser beam
would move down to detectors # 7, 8, 9 etc. and the standoff reading indication would decrease.
