Locate Instruments (USMN)

Locates a network of instruments using Unified Spatial Metrology Network (USMN).

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Instrument ID Ref List

Instruments to Locate

A list of instruments to locate.

1

Collection Object Name

Nominals Group Name (blank for none)

An optional group containing nominal points for driving the USMN fit.

2

Collection Object Name

Output Group Name (to be

established)

The name for the resulting USMN composite point

group.

 

3

 

Boolean

Move in Working Frame (TRUE) or Instrument Frame (FALSE)

Controls the way in which an instrument is rotated, either using its base frame or the world frame.

4

Boolean

AutoReject Outliers and Resolve

Indicates whether outliers should automatically be rejected (once), with the network then being

re-solved.

 

5

 

Show USMN Dialog

 

Show USMN Dialog

Indicate whether the USMN dialog should always be shown, never be shown, or only shown on tolerance violation.

6

Double

Max Acceptable RMS Error

Value (0.0 for none)

A tolerance for the maximum acceptable RMS

error from the USMN fit.

7

Double

Max Acceptable Error Value (0.0 for none)

A tolerance for the maximum acceptable error from the USMN fit.

8

Collection Object Name Ref List

Groups to be Excluded

The groups to exclude from the USMN calculation.

 

9

 

Boolean

Exclude Points Measured By Only One Instrument

If TRUE, points that have measurements from only one instrument are excluded from the USMN calculation.

10

Boolean

Run Uncertainty Field Analysis?

True, runs the uncertainty analysis

11

Integer

Analysis Samples

Number of samples to include for each point

12

Double

Analysis Time Limit (Minutes - 0 for none)

How long to let the analysis continue.

 

Return Arguments

 

13

Double

RMS Error Value

The calculated RMS error for the fit.

14

Double

Max Error Value

The calculated maximum error for the fit.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

The USMN was completed successfully and tolerances were not exceeded.

PARTIAL SUCCESS

The instruments were located successfully, but one or both tolerances were exceeded.

FAILURE

The instruments or nominal group were not found.
