WHAT THE SYSTEM MANUAL COVERS
This manual provides the information necessary for you to understand, install, program,
operate, and troubleshoot the 5501A Laser Transducer System (Figure 7-7). It does this by
giving you the necessary information at the system level to accomplish each of those func-
tions. It also acts a s a guide to the backup operating and service manuals that are supplied for
each unit that make up your individual system.
The manual is organized to allow each reader to determine exactly what information is re-
quired and proceed directly to that point. For example, if the system is already installed and
operating and you wish to modify the existing control program, Section IV, PROGRAMMING,
contains the required information. However, if you have just received a system and have not
yet determined exactly how to solve your measurement problem, a brief explanation of the
contents of each section will make it easier for you to use your system and the manual in the
most effective manner.
