Machine Measurements
Accuratelymeasur eandenterthemachinedimensionsintothe3D‐MCmachinebuilder,andwriteyour
measurementsonthelinesatthesideofthefollowingscreencaptures.Verificationandadjustmentsfor
severalcriticallengthsarede scribedin“VerifyingSetup”onpage47.
Ifusingthedog‐bonemountingoption,wornjointsinthedog‐bonelinkagewillcause
decreasedaccuracy.
Checkthesensor’sserialnumbersbeforeinstalling.Thelasttwodigitsoftheserialnumber
determinethesensorCANaddress,andmustbeuniquetoeachmachine.
Forexample,sensorserialnumber0302and0402willhavethesameCANaddress(“02”),
causingcommunicationerrors.
Asensorendingin00isconsideredaspecialCANidentifier, andwillbeidentifiedas01in3D‐
MC;therefore;ifyouhaveasensorwith00andasensorwith01,therewillbesomeconfusion
in3D‐MC.
Thebestpracticeistoperformthemachinecalibrationsasorderedinthismanual.Performing
thecalibrationsoutoforderwillnotaff ectsystemperformance.Theexceptiontothisiswhen
usingadog‐bonesensor.Youmustcalibratethesticksensorbeforecalibratingthe dog‐bone
sensor.
Incorrectmeasurementsordataentryerrorshaveadirectaffectonexcavatingaccuracy.
Takeeachmeasurementtwicetoensureaccuracy.
