ABSTRACT:
A system and method for leveling an apparatus are provided. The position of the apparatus with respect to a pair of intersecting axes is determined by sensors positioned along each axis. The position of the apparatus is adjusted about a second set of axes by first and second leveling devices. The data from each of the sensors is transformed to new position data which corresponds to the position of the apparatus with respect to the second set of axes. The apparatus may be leveled automatically through direct control of the first and second leveling devices. The apparatus may also be leveled manually through the use of an indicator device which indicates the necessary adjustments for the first and second leveling devices.
