The Use and Calibration of the Kern ME5000 Mekometer - SLAC ...

ME5000 Operation
Al = wavelength for frequency Ft
D = approx. distance
AiE = addition constant
D = rnlhl-ADC (13)
Short distance measurements below 20 m form the bulk of the work performed with the ME5000 at
particle accelerators. The majority of these distances are already known to within a millimeter or so. The
ME5000 program provides a feature to enter a pre-known distance. This distance must be sufficiently
close to the actual distance that the wobbler kq~ency falls over the zero point during the coarse search
(see Fig. 8 and description). The entry of a valid preknown distance produces a considerable saving in
time.
