Agilent Technologies 5530 - Angular Measurements Introduction

Chapter 4 Angular Measurements
Introduction
4-2 Measurements Reference Guide
Introduction
This chapter explains how to make pitch, yaw, or angular position
measurements.
Pitch or yaw measurements are made by making angular measurements
at multiple points along a machine’s (linear) travel path.
Angular position (Angle) measurements are performed by making angular
measurements at multiple points as the device being measured is rotated.
Angular position measurements may require additional fixturing not
required for pitch or yaw measurements. Also, the procedures are
different from those for pitch or yaw measurements. Instructions for
making an angular position measurement are given later in this chapter,
following those for pitch or yaw measurements.
Before performing the procedures described in this chapter, you must
understand and know how to perform the procedures presented in the
Agilent 5530 Getting Started Guide.
For operating specifications, see Appendix A.
Figure 4-1 shows the required optics and hardware for angular (pitch or
yaw) measurements.
