Measure using Multipoint

Preparations

Before you start measuring, make sure you have done the preparations you need.

  • Mount the measuring units. "Multipoint" is available when you use XT60 measuring units.
  • To calculate results, you need to enter at least the distance between the measuring units.
  • Tap a target to connect measuring units. Go to Select measuring units
  • If needed, perform a rough alignment.

  • If needed, measure Softfoot. Go to Softfoot.

Measure

It is possible to switch measuring method before you have registered a value.

For a more accurate result, try to spread the points as much as possible. The colors indicates where the optimum positions to measure are. Green is best place to measure. Always turn the shaft in the same direction for a more accurate result.

  1. Tap on the tab to select the method Multipoint.
  2. Adjust laser to the center of the targets. If needed, adjust the units on the rods, then use laser adjustments knobs.
  3. Tap to register the first position. The first position is automatically set to zero.
  4. Tap to register as many positions as you wish. After three points a result is available.
  5. Tap to go to the Result view, or tap to measure again.

The registered values are saved when you leave the Measure view. If you return to the Measure view, it is possible to do a new measurement.

  1. Tap to display detector information.

  2. Registered measurement point.

  3. Quality assessment.
  4. Tap to show detailed information. Go to Result details.
  5. Tap to register values.
Make a new measurement. This makes it possible to check the repeatability of the measurement.

  1. Vertical values for angle A and B
  2. Horizontal values for angle A and B

Edge warning

When the laser beam is close to the edge, the edge is “lit up” as a warning. It is still possible to register values when the edge warning is active.

Zero inclinometer

If the machine is mounted on an inclined base plane, you can manually set the inclinometer to a new 12 o'clock position. The following measurements will then use the new inclinometer settings.

  1. Choose the measuring method you want to use.
  2. Turn the measuring units so that the rods are perpendicular to the base plane.
  3. Tap and .
  4. Confirm the desired position for the measuring units by tapping . The inclinometer will now be set to zero.

Your inclinometer adjustment will be applied during the whole measurement session, but will be restored when you start a new measurement from the start menu.
