Initial setup of computer and laser head
If you have not already done so, perform the following setup procedures 
before using the rest of the instructions in this procedure. Refer to the 
Agilent 5530 Getting Started Guide for complete instructions on 
performing these steps.
1 Mount the laser head on the tripod and place the tripod near the target 
machine.
2 Connect the E1735A USB Axis Module and the E1736A USB Sensor Hub 
to the PC. Connect the laser head and remote control unit to the axis 
module. Connect the sensors to the sensor hub.
The appropriate connectors are either on the rear or the side of the PC.
3 Plug in and turn on all equipment.
4 Start the metrology software.
The Metrology Main Menu is displayed.
On the Metrology Main Menu, select Angular.
5 The Set Up Laser: ANGULAR screen is displayed.
Alternatively, you can open an existing angular measurement setup file 
from your database by selecting Recall Data on the Main Menu.
6 Complete the fields on the Set Up Laser: ANGULAR screen.
7 In the Measurement Axis box, select 55290A. The display changes to that 
shown in Figure 4-19. (Instructions for Pitch or Yaw measurements are 
given in “Setting Up for a Pitch or Yaw Measurement” earlier in this 
chapter.)
If necessary, use the Agilent 5530 calibrator’s online help.
