The study is concerned with the sampling that is required to determine the matrix of the unknown device uniquely as a function of its distinguishable parameters. A unique determination of the device matrix for an n-element serial system of rotationally distinguishable elements is given with a number of measurements that scales like n. This number is much less than is required in a general system having n independent variables and reflects the separable nature of the serial-device matrix. A numerical method is used to model a system containing three rotatable elements, the Sacramento Peak Vacuum Tower Telescope. The solution accuracy is 2.5 percent and is a general function of all of the telescope pointing parameters. The matrix solution permits the recovery of the incoming state of polarization to the system to this degree of accuracy.
