in equation (6) are omitted in the calculation of MPE.

A special case is the outside buck-in measurement in which the laser tracker is aligned with points 1 and'2 as shown
in Fisure 2.

Point I establishes the reference for the laser tracker measurement, much as the home position establishes the reference point
for many other tracker measurements. Also, in this case, the air temperature of the beam path between the laser tracker and
point I is the same for both measurements. Under these conditions, the two coordinate measurements are correlated, permitting
Equation (6) to be rewritten as

Here the quantity e p12 refersto either the ADM specifications in Table l. In Equations (l) and (2),the length is equal to the
distance between the points; in other words, L : L z-L, . Also, the quantity E rntro rt: (L z-L t) ' (/T AVE;2l"C)' (l pm/m) ,

where lT unu', is the average temperature of the air between points I and 2 minus the temperature of the air at the tracker's air
temperature sensor.

Another special case is that of the two-face measurement. In this measurement, the coordinates of a point are first measured in
the usual mode, referred to as front-sight mode, and then in the backsight mode. To put the tracker in backsight mode, the
azimuth axis is rotated by I 80 degrees and then flipped about the zenith axis to point the laser beam back at the target. The
transverse distance between the frontsight and backsight coordinates is the backsight error. The two-face test is a challenging
test of tracker oerformance because most of the tracker transverse errors are doubled. The two-face MPE is

 ADM Ranging Test

The ADM Calibration verifies the

performance of the laser tracker
absolute distance measurement
(ADM) meter. A reference tracker
equipped with a calibrated
inierferometer is used to measure the
distances of a set of co-linear targets'
The nearest target is designated as
the datum, and the distance of each
target from the datum is calculated to
oOtaln the reference distances' The
procedure is then repeated using the
iest tracker ADM meter, and the test
distances are compared to the
reference distances.
