Right Sensor
Position Values Shown on Monitor for Dif Ht (Note 1) Avg. of Heights (mm) Actual Block Height (Note 2) (mm) Actual Minus Average (mm) Standard Dev. of Heights (mm) (Note 3)
Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5
Base Plate + 25 mm Block + Calibration Plate                  
Base Plate + 50 mm Block + Calibration Plate                  
Base Plate + 75 mm Block + Calibration Plate                  
Base Plate + 100 mm Block + Calibration Plate                  

Note 1: Do Test 1 for each block position. Then repeat procedure for other tests. Let computer take 500 readings before recording value.

Note 2: Record actual height of block stamped on block in this column

Note 3: Calculate standard deviation using the STDEV function in Excel
