Setup

Squareness screen

The Squareness screen contains data and choice

fields for calibrating the squareness of the measuring

system. The calibration of stage squareness requires

the use of a certified square artifact. To calibrate

squareness:

1 Place the square calibration artifact on the stage

with one edge along the X-axis.

2 Measure the angle of the square calibration arti-

fact (ideally 90 degrees).

3 Select the Observed Angle data field, enter

the measured angle using the number keys and

press the Enter key to highlight the Standard

Angle field.

4 Enter the actual angle of the square calibra-

tion artifact obtained from the artifact’s certifica-

tion document into the Standard Angle data field.

5 Touch the Enabled choice field to toggle the

field to ON.
