The Laser Position field displays the measurement position, which is the
current location of the optics. In an actual measurement, this would be the
distance the machine moved from the zero point.
The Target field displays the distance that the retroreflector was supposed
to move. The system calculates this position from the numbers you
entered earlier in the Start Position, End Position, and No. of Points per
direction fields on the Set Up Measurement: LINEAR screen.
