5.2.10 Half function
There are specific shaft alignment applications where the ‘half function’ is used to
help ensure that the laser beam does not deviate away from the sensor detector
during shaft rotation. The measuring of long spacer shafts is one such example.
The ‘half function’ procedure would be as follows.
1. As laser beam adjustment takes place in the “Measurement” screen, press
q
while on this screen, then use the navigation keys and highlight the submenu
item ‘Half function’.
2. Press
e to confirm selection. The “Half function” screen opens displaying the
absolute X,Y values of the laser beam on the detector.
This screen further reveals
that the ‘Position to center’
submenu item is now active
and may be selected.
