The method can include measuring the tridimensional positions of a reference feature for a first at least three different angular positions of the reference feature around the first rotation axis and a same first reference angular position around the second rotation axis, the reference feature being fixed relative to the component; and measuring the tridimensional positions of the reference feature for a second at least three different angular positions of the reference feature around the first rotation axis and a same second reference angular position around the second rotation axis.

A digital write protection lock of a field device activates in response to receiving a request from a locking party, placing the device into a write protection mode. While the device is in the write protection mode, only the locking party may modify the configuration of the device. While in the write protection mode, the device may provide an indication of the locking party to another device or application attempting to access or control the write protected device. Other devices, applications, and users may communicate with the locking party or locking party device to request that the device be unlocked and/or to request the corresponding digital write protection lock key. Upon the device receiving the correct digital write protection lock key, the digital write protection lock may be deactivated, and the device may enter into an unlocked state if no other digital write protection locks remain activated for the device.
