Appendix C
Sign detection
The XM system has six measurement channels:
•
3 channels (T1, T2 and T3) correspond to translations (linear
and straightness)
•
3 channels (R1, R2 and R3) correspond to rotations around
T1, T2 and T3
Roll
Pitch
Sign detection process performs the following:
•
Links the T1, T2 and T3 axes of the XM to the machine linear axes
•
Sets the sign (+/−) of the T1, T2 and T3 measurements
•
Sets the sign (+/−) of the R1, R2 and R3 measurements
