CAUTION!
Changing the job mode clears all data previously acquired for the job.
7.4.2 Set the alignment method
Selecting an alignment method is available only for Advanced horizontal alignment jobs. In
Basic mode, Manual 4 Point is the only available alignment method.
Procedure
1.
Activate a horizontal alignment job.
2. From the Laser Align Application main menu, press ALT > F4 Laser Align Method.
3. Select an alignment method.
The Basic Laser Alignment Application defaults to Manual 4 Point. The Advanced
Laser Alignment Application lets you select from 5 different methods.
See Alignment methods for more information on the available alignment methods.
a. For Auto Sweep, also select Standard or Averaging as the mode of operation.
See Section 7.4.3 for more information on the Standard and Averaging modes.
b. For Pass Mode, also select a target window percentage.
The target window determines the size of the valid data window around the
vertical centerline of the laser's position sensing detector. Typically, a target
window of 100% is sufficient, but you can decrease the size of the target window
for increased accuracy and repeatability.
c. For Manual Sweep, also select Standard or Averaging as the mode of operation
and enter a sample rate.
The sample rate sets the number of samples (1 to 25) to be averaged to generate
a single reading.
d. For Auto 4 Point, also enter a sample rate.
The sample rate sets the number of samples (1 to 25) to be averaged to generate
a single reading.
e. For Manual 4 Point, also enter a sample rate.
The sample rate sets the number of samples (1 to 25) to be averaged to generate
a single reading.
4. Press Enter.
Alignment methods
Changing the alignment method is available only for Advanced horizontal alignment jobs.
To enable data acquisitions for varying applications, circumstances, and preferences,
different data collection methods are available for horizontal alignment jobs. The data
acquisition screens vary depending on the alignment method defined for the job.
