Measurement overview

Start a measurement

To start a measurement, you first have to enter some information rearding the wing's current status.

"Started"

You can continue a measurement where you've left of to entere missing readings after taking a break. If the measurement to continue is older than three days, you will be forwarded into the wizard for starting a measurement, just to make sure all the information is still up to date.

"In progress"

A measurement is considered in progess once all values are succesfully read in through the laser, by manual input or import.

In this state you can still edit values. After completion of a measurement, values can't be changed anymore. If values are changed via any other mechanism, the checksum will become invalid. By this we avoid subsequent and unremarked maniuplation of data.

In Simulation view, you are able to view your wing's trim in terms of angle of incidence (AoI) and symmetry. You will also be able to simulate changes on the loops to see how they might affect AoI and symmetry (beta!).

"Finished"

In finished measurements you cannot change lengths anymore. You will however see the status quo of AoI and symmetry and also be able to compare it to previous measurements. This can be used to compare measurements from before or after a trim or also to see how your lines are changing over time.
