System Overview
The Agilent 5530 Dynamic Calibrator System typically includes the
following components:
• measurement optics such as reflector, retroreflector, turning mirror,
and interferometer
• Agilent 5519A/B Laser Head
• Agilent 10753B Tripod
• Agilent E1735A USB Axis Module
• Agilent E1736A USB Sensor Hub (optional, as required)
• Agilent E1738A Air Sensor(s) and Agilent E1737A Material
Temperature Sensor(s), (optional, as required)
• Agilent 10888A Remote Control Unit
• Agilent 10747F Metrology Software
The USB sensor hub provides the interface between the air and material
temperature sensors and your PC. The sensors provide digital signals that
the software uses to calculate compensation factors. These factors adjust
for changes in the system’s operating environment. Typical sensors used
with this hub are an Agilent E1738A Air Sensor and one to three
Agilent E1737A Material Temperature Sensors. Other sensor
combinations are possible — contact your Agilent representative if you
require more information.
The USB axis module contains the laser measurement electronics and
interface for both the optional remote control unit and the A-quad-B
encoder input.
The Agilent 10747F Metrology Software enables you to perform PC-based
laser calibrations.
