Making outline
- Configure inspection/alignment instrument and scale reference for a specified optical measurement task
- Build or acquire each explicit earlier physical input; establish independent references and interfaces.
- Make trials and accept only against the eventual caller specification; record uncertainty and rejected outputs.
What remains unresolved
- Making route and target-level requirements not researched.
- Full inventory, required quantities, process settings, numerical demand and suitability remain open.
Unselected discovery proposals
These are research questions, not published manufacturing dependencies. The seed combines alternatives, operating requirements and verification relationships.
