Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile display unit (13) for displaying graphic information (16) representing an arrangement (100) of physical components (1, 2), wherein the display unit (13) comprises a control unit (21) adapted for transmitting information regarding at least the position of said arrangement. The invention is characterized in that the display unit (13) comprises a gyro unit (25) for registration of the orientation of a display unit (13) relative to said arrangement (100), where said gyro unit (25) is connected to said control unit (21), and where the control unit (21) is adapted to adjust said display of said graphic information (16) in dependence on the orientation of the display unit (13).

Claims

1. A mobile display unit for displaying graphic information representing an arrangement of physical components wherein the display unit comprises a control unit adapted for transmitting information regarding at least the position of said arrangement, wherein the display unit comprises a gyro unit for registration of the orientation of a display unit relative to said arrangement, where said gyro unit is connected to said control unit, and where the control unit is adapted to adjust said display of said graphic information in dependence on the orientation of the display unit.

2. A mobile display unit according to claim 1, wherein said graphic information is views of the arrangement of said physical components viewed from different viewing angles which depend on said orientation.

3. A mobile display unit according to claim 1, wherein the gyro unit receives an initial calibration value for the registration of the geometric position of the display unit from the user via the control unit.

4. A mobile display unit according to claim 1, wherein the control unit includes information regarding a plurality of arrangements of said graphic information to represent said arrangement of said components in dependence on the orientation of the display unit relative to said arrangement.

5. A mobile display unit according to claim 4, wherein the control unit at a predetermined value obtained from the gyro unit changes the graphic information regarding the arrangement of said physical component displayed by the display unit.

6. A mobile display unit according to claim 1, wherein said gyro unit is a vibration gyro unit.

7. A measuring system for measuring the relative positions of a first component and a second component, the measuring system comprising:

a first measuring unit and a second measuring unit, wherein the first measuring unit comprises a light source and said second measuring unit comprises a detector for said light source;

wherein

the measuring system comprises a mobile display unit for displaying graphic information representing an arrangement of physical components wherein the display unit comprises a control unit adapted for transmitting information regarding at least the position of said arrangement wherein the display unit comprises a gyro unit for registration of the orientation of a display unit relative to said arrangement, where said gyro unit is connected to said control unit, and where the control unit is adapted to adjust said display of said graphic information in dependence on the orientation of the display unit.

8. A measuring system according to claim 7, wherein said first measuring unit is connected to a first physical component, and said second measuring unit is connected to a second physical component.

9. A measuring system according to claim 7, wherein the display unit comprises a connection to at least said first measuring unit (6).

10. A measuring system according to claim 7, wherein the physical components comprise a driving shaft and an input shaft to which said measuring units are connected.

11. A measuring system according to claim 7, wherein the measuring units measure the relative position of said first component in relation to said second component at a pre-determined operating condition.

12. A measuring system according to claim 7, wherein the control unit calculates alignment errors after obtaining at least three relative positions from said measuring units, and where the display unit shows calculated alignment errors.
