Surface Align Ring

This tool is only intended for performing a high-accuracy alignment of ring and partial ring layouts with G2 sensors, using recorded scan data. LMI recommends performing alignment using the routines available on the System page, under Alignment. For information on aligning sensors using this tool, see Ring Layouts (Surface Align Ring Tool).

Performing alignment using the Surface Align Ring or Surface Align Wide tools (which results in 6 degrees of freedom) involves considerable setup effort. First, the calibration targets are more difficult to manufacture than a calibration bar. Second, the alignment tools have several parameters that must be properly configured to successfully perform an alignment.
