Workspace Measurement Position System (wMPS) is a newly developed laser based measuring system for large scale
metrology. Initially, theoretical definition of metrology process models of wMPS is described and uncertainties are
propagated from internal parameters using Monte Carlo simulation in which uncertainty decreases with sampling
duration. Angular uncertainty is affected by internal parameters pointed out by mathematical model and experiments
are then carried out to determine the actual uncertainty in the azimuth and elevation in order to select appropriate
parameters to design the measuring system. Experiment results reveal that wMPS has the ability of accurate
measurement for large volume and the uncertainty is less affected by the working volume. Measuring results shows
wMPS designed based on the parameters achieves relative high measuring precision.
