[QUOTE="a33, post: 1027394, member: 332642"] That is [B]only if the dish is purely paraboloid[/B], that is: parabolical in both horizontal and vertical dimension, and with a flat rim. So that is not useable with multifeed dishes, such as SMW-OA-1600 or Visiosat(Cahors) (Big) Bisat. It is also difficult with dishes with non-flat 'rim' of WorkingArea Of Dish (that is the meaning of your abbreviation?), such as broader-than-high dishes as often used in the UK. You'd have to use the water method or something: not easy. The [B]dish deepest point triangle measurement[/B] doesn't have these disadvantages, and also just needs 3 measurements. :) I believe (but I'm still working on that) that you can also calculate total parabola out of that; so also G-spot, focal point, top string and bottom string and the lot. I know you are a fan of parabola6 and I am too. Best program to calculate focal point and G-spot-distance that I know of till now. But it gives problems in calculating dishes as the TD110...
