6-12 Acquiring Alignment Data
Manual Sweep
Manual Sweep functions similarly to the Auto Sweep mode except that the
laser heads, or shafts, are stopped at each position where data is to be taken
and a key pressed to store a reading. Data from up to 36 positions may be
recorded. This mode is especially useful for performing uncoupled or non-
rotational alignments. This is the recommended sweep method for sweeps
that are <75º.
The current alignment method is always shown at the bottom center of the
screen. The alignment method is selected from the Alignment Setup menu
which is accessed using the Options key. Once the Manual Sweep method
is shown, using the Up/Down Arrow keys to select and the number keys
on the keypad to toggle the selection, set the sample rate.
Sample Rate – determines the number of data samples that are to be col-
lected and averaged together to produce a single Laser PSD reading. Use
the Left and Right Arrow keys to toggle sample rate from 1 to 25 samples.
The default is 2.
