    AAlign - Alignment of Spectrometers

    AAlign is a sub program of our ACams software.

    Using theodolites, monuments with known coordinates are measured, these are generally points located on the hall floors. Targets on the spectrometers are also measured and referenced to the monuments. After all points have been measured the software via a transformation solves for angular location.

    The as found location of the spectrometers can be reported or they can be positioned to specific angles using this program. A spectrometer survey requires anywhere from 6 to 10 theodolite stations, taking approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete.
