Aligning the Laser Beam to the Machine’s 
Travel Path for Short-Range Measurements
Follow the instructions in “Aligning the Laser Beam to the Machine’s 
Travel Path for Short-Range Measurements” in Chapter 2.
You are now ready to make the measurement. Continue with the next 
section, “Making the Measurement.”
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 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 Move the moveable optic so it is at its start position.
2 On the Set Up Laser: ANGULAR screen, select Set Up Meas.
The Set Up Measurement: ANGULAR screen is displayed (Figure 4-13).
