• ANGLE START: The instrument will only allow ANGLE START to be changed to one of the angles in the range
of angles of the custom POP file.
• ANGLE STEP:
The ANGLE STEP from the POP file is the smallest step increment that the user may set, and the value will change
in multiples of this value. For example, if the step size of the POP file is 0.5 degrees, the will limit the step size to
one of: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, etc. In this example, the user will not have the ability to select an invalid step size (such as
0.8). The maximum step size will be (ANGLE STOP – ANGLE START).
• ANGLE STOP: The instrument will only allow ANGLE STOP to be changed to one of the angles in the range of
angles of the custom POP file and will increment in multiples of ANGLE STEP, relative to ANGLE START. For
example, if ANGLE START is 31.0 and ANGLE STEP is 10.0 and the current value of ANGLE STOP is 55.0.
• A positive increment of ANGLE STOP will change ANGLE STOP to 61.0.
• Verify that the ANGLE START, ANGLE STOP and ANGLE STEP are valid. The instrument will display the
message “INVALID ANGLE RANGE” and abort. This can happen if the user changes one of ANGLE START or
ANGLE STEP parameters without changing ANGLE STOP to a valid range setting.
• Copy (do not use the internal delay law calculator) the cycle information (element delays, etc.) for each angle in
the user’s selected angle range to the cycle table.
• Calculate the mapping table for the user’s selected angle range.
If an attempt to change a parameter listed as “LIMIT for calibration” a numeric limit will be applied with respect to the
value of the parameter when the first reference was recorded for the scan. When a limit is reached the following error
message will be displayed.
The parameters that have special limits once a DGS Reference is recorded are:
