6-22 Acquiring Alignment Data
The current laser head readings are shown in reverse video just below the
title line of the display. The current head angle is shown at the bottom
center of the screen. To acquire data, use the arrow keys to move the
reverse video of the data point to be acquired to the desired position. When
using this mode the user must be very careful to get the desired readings
into the desired positions. That is why this is called the 4 Point Manual
method. All readings should be 90° from each other, but this does allow the
program to handle special circumstances where the shaft of the machine is
not in the horizontal plane. There is no averaging of the displayed data and
no safeguards against data being placed in the wrong position.

When the desired data position is highlighted and the data is acceptable,
press any number key to insert the data into the selected position.
After 3 or 4 positions have had data inserted, pressing the Enter key will
complete acquisition and accept the data.
