Session Wed 1: OTG & Level In SA (1:00-2:00PM)    
Steve Seiler
Understanding level to gravity is critical for accurate large-scale metrology and several alignment scenarios.  This session explores gravity compensation, levelling concepts, and straightening tools.  Typical workflows for gravity constrained networks will be discussed as well what to do if a metrology network is large enough that gravity cannot be considered uniform. 

Session Wed 2: Automation in Action: Integrating Metrology Solutions (2:30-3:30)    
Sarah Avino & Scott Sandwith
This session will walk through live demos of how Spatial Anayzer leverages its wide range of device connections including robots, laser trackers, total stations, PCMMs, and photogrammetry systems to automate the metrology processes. We'll show how built-in tools like Measurement Plans, along with SA's SDK, Python, C# and more can be used together to streamline inspection and assembly.
