Tilting Axis Adjustment (a) 5.4

Description: This adjustment procedure determines the following instrument error


Determination of tilting axis error step-by-step 

The following table explains the most common settings.
☞ Determine the horizontal collimation error ©) before starting this procedure.


1. Leica Captivate - Home: Settings\TS instrument\Check & adjust


2. Check & Adjust
Select the option: Check & adjust the tilting axis


 3. 


4.


5. Face II measurement
Measure to measure the same target in the other face and to calculate the tilting axis error.


☞ If the error is bigger than the predefined limit, the procedure must be repeated. The tilting axis measurements of the current run are then rejected and not averaged with the results from previous runs. 


6. Adjustment Status
Number of measurements: Shows the number of runs completed. One run consists of a measurement in face I and face II.
a T-axis quality (1 σ): Shows the standard deviation of the determined tilting axis error. The standard deviation can be calculated from the second run onwards.


☞ Achieved adjustment qualities should be aligned with the expected measurement accuracies. In order to leverage aiming errors it is advisable to measure at least three runs.


7. Next to continue with the check & adjust procedure.


8. Follow the proposal Add another calibration loop until three runs
have been measured. Next and continue with step 3.
OR
Select Finish the calibration & store the results to finish the calibration process. No more runs can be added later. Next to view the adjustment results.


9. Select Finish to accept the results. No more runs can be added later.
OR
Select Redo to decline all measurements and to repeat all calibration runs.
