Making the Measurement 
In this procedure, you make manual measurements as you move the 
machine’s moveable part. 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 procedure 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 Move the moveable optic so it is at its start position.
2 On the Set Up Laser: LINEAR screen, select Set Up Meas.
The Set Up Measurement: LINEAR screen is displayed (Figure 2-15).
