6.1.1 The Art / Principle of Adjusting
To reach an optimum with adjustment the concept “Degrees of freedom” must be
understood:
• Tilting around an axis means rotating or turning around a specific axis.
• Moving on an axis means parallel shift on that specific axis
It is absolutely necessary to follow the order of adjustment and iterate an adjustment
procedure until the criteria are met. If iteration is not successful start adjustment
again from the very beginning.
6.1.2 Interpretation of correction values
A correction Value of "–7" means a necessary shift of 7 Units away from the
direction of the coordinates.
And a correction Value of "16" means a necessary shift of 16 Units in the direction
of the coordinates.
For coordinates, refer to section 2.1 Overview on page 2-1.
