Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The SPAT automatically completes. The set of measurements from each
sweep are compared for repeatability. If the sets are not repeatable, you
must repeat the test.
NOTE: The Quantum movement should feel fluid. Be careful not to
stress the Quantum while taking these points or get too close to an
end stop since stresses can be amplified near end stops.
Note the deviations in X, Y, and Z. The (Max-Min)/2 Error, or Single
Point repeatability value, of each coordinate should be lower than the
value printed on the Quantum.
