  1. I don’t really have an example. Basically the FARO arm has machine coordinates and all the points taken using it are in this coordinate system. What I want to know is what math is being done to each point that is taken after making a new coordinate system using the 3-2-1 method. we want to take the points that are in the machine coordinates of the faro arm , import them to matlab and replicate the math that is being done by the cam software. hopefully that makes it a little more clear. Thanks for the response.
  2. Hello, We are currently using an older faro arm and an older version of CAM to measure cylindrical parts. We are creating a new coordinate system using the 3-2-1 method (plane line circle) with the origin being centered on the part. We figured out how to achieve this using the CAM software but are trying to replicate this coordinate translation using the raw data (x y z points and ABC angles of the head) and MATLAB. Our end goal is to export the raw data obtained from the faro arm and be able to perform the same math the CAM software is doing when you create a new coordinate system using the 3-2-1 method. Is anyone familiar with the math behind translating/rotating the machine coordinate system to a part coordinate system? Thanks for the help
