Abstract
The Ritchey-Common test is a well-known method for large flat measurements. This paper describes a straightforward implementation ofthe formulas, to allow accurate surface height calculation using relatively few separate measurements. Both Ritchey-Common test and direct measurement results are presented. In comparison of the two methods, the RitcheyCommon test is in good agreement with the direct measurement.
