Claim:
1. A method for mounting and aligning a new line replaceable unit to a piece of equipment comprising: removing an old precision line replaceable unit from a line replaceable unit mount on a piece of equipment; attaching a device mounting interface to the line replaceable unit mount; placing a handheld IMU adjacent the device mounting interface; measuring position data corresponding to a position of the handheld IMU at the device mounting interface; transmitting the position data from the handheld IMU to a computer logic; determining with the computer logic a positional error value based on the position data, wherein the positional error value indicates if a new precision line replaceable unit can be installed without correcting for a position of the line replaceable unit mount; compensating for the position error value if the new precision line replaceable unit cannot be installed without correcting for a position of the line replaceable unit mount; removing the device mounting interface from the line replaceable unit mount; and installing the new precision line replaceable unit to the line replaceable unit mount to mount the new precision line replaceable unit on the piece of equipment.
