Funding: work supported by STFC in the LC-ABD collaboration and by the Commission of the European Community, 6th Framework Programme, Structuring the European Research Area, contract number RIDS-011899 The Linear Collider Alignment and Survey group has completed experiments with a prototype robotic survey train for the ILC called the RTRS (Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor). Calibration of the RTRS is the most difficult part of data analysis, involving advanced mathematical methods to obtain constraint independent calibration parameters and errors. We show how sub-system data analysis provides input errors for the calibration process. We present the mathematical formalism used and results from the calibration of one of the three cars. |
