The F dimension is only required when the tolerance type
is Jackshaft. This dimension is not needed when the
tolerance type is Standard.
*Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch (3 mm).
If the left machine is fixed, then the A and B dimensions are not required
and are not displayed.
If the right machine is fixed, then the C and D dimensions are not required
and are not displayed.
Note
All machine dimensions must be entered before advancing to the
thermal growth screens.
4. Enter thermal growth values if thermal growth is enabled and press Enter.
Refer to the Alignment chapter of the AMS 2140 Machinery Health
