Running the machine control program
After your program has passed your manual operation check, run it 
automatically. While you are doing this, you can also check to be sure you 
have set the Agilent 5530 calibrator to record data at the appropriate 
times. Be sure your program has enough dwell time for the Agilent 5530 
to record an appropriate value.
Making the measurement
In this procedure, you make automatic measurements as you rotate the 
precision index table’s base. If you are using sensors, make sure they are 
properly placed and the software is set up correctly. (Refer to the 
Agilent 5530 Getting Started Guide for complete instructions on using the 
software and the sensors.)
This section explains how to make measurements using the Record button 
in the software and the optional remote control unit. See Chapter 1, 
“Planning Your Measurements,” for a description of other triggering 
methods.
To make the measurement, follow these steps:
1 Perform one measurement cycle, to place the measurement optic at its 
start position.
2 On the Set Up Laser: ANGULAR window, select Set Up Meas.
The Set Up Measurement: ANGULAR screen is displayed (Figure 4-31).
