11
USMN Bundle Different Systems

• Best Pts ? Composite Pt Group
• Optimized Network of Stations Pts
• Large-scale measurement processes require more
  than a single instrument
• Combination of various measurement devices
• A single instrument moved throughout the
  measurement volume
• Optimization ? dynamic weighting based on
  component measurement uncertainty
• Range dependent performance
• Angle Range measurement uncertainty
• Include Target, Environment, Setup, Network
  Geometry effects
• Report Confidence (Combined Uncertainty)
• Simulate Process before investing in Solutions

12
Crib Sheets Automate Measurements Tasks

• Crib Sheets define measurement type and sequence
• Independent of instrument type -- work with
  common instruments
• Easy to Pre-Program Measurement Tasks
• Save in Template and Run Sequence when needed
• Break measurement process down into a series Crib
  Sheets e.g., Ref Align, Surf Validation, Build
  Mode, and Drift Check
• Automatically script through "learn mode
• Learn mode records instrument interface actions
  and fills out Crib Sheet
