Introduction
This chapter first explains how to mount the laser head on the tripod.
Once you have set up the Agilent 5530’s hardware and the measurement
portions of the software, you are ready to collect measurement data.
Mounting the Laser Head on the Tripod
To mount the laser head on the tripod, see Figure 6-1 and follow these
steps:
1 Remove the tripod and mounting plate from the transit case.
2 Spread the tripod legs fully and extend each leg to the approximate height
you require.
3 Place the mounting plate on the tripod.
The base of the mounting plate fits into over the top of the tripod. Align
the mounting plate as shown in Figure 6-1.
4 Hand tighten the mounting plate screw that secures the mounting plate to
the tripod.
Hint
To make it easier to align the laser head to the machine, place the tripod with
one leg in line with the path of the laser beam.
