4.7.3.4 ROTATION TAGS IN THE APM<br />

The APM includes two rotation-related constructs that are used in conjunction with the<br />

tag. The rotation combinations are complicated by the fact<br />

that some rotation sequences are specified with more than one rotation about the same axis<br />

(e.g., a ‘131’ rotation, in which the first rotation is about the x-axis, second about the z-axis,<br />

and the final rotation again about the x-axis). The rotation constructs shall be used to<br />

encapsulate the keywords associated with the structure of one of the rotation sequences. The<br />

following NDM/<strong>XML</strong> tags shall be used within the rotation structure:<br />

As in the KVN APM, angles may be specified without rates, rates may be specified without<br />

angles, or both angles and rates may be specified. The and<br />

elements are composed of three tags: ,<br />

, and . Depending on whether angles or rates are being<br />

described, these (i=1,2,3) keywords have different attributes.<br />

For angles, the attributes are ‘angle=’ and ‘units="deg"’. The ‘angle’ attribute is<br />

required; the ‘units’ attribute is optional. The choices <strong>for</strong> ‘angle’ are ‘X_ANGLE’,<br />

‘Y_ANGLE’, ‘Z_ANGLE’, which are the keywords from the KVN APM. For example the<br />

following shows rotation angles <strong>for</strong> a 321 rotation sequence:<br />
