Maximum Intensity Profile Mode (MAX)
In this mode the position of the maximum intensity of laser beam profile is calculated. The result
includes the position value of the maximum (P
MAX
) as well as the maximum intensity value (I
MAX
).
The calculation of position value is performed with simple pixel accuracy, i.e. the evaluation of
1088 rows delivers a position range from 0 to 1087 pixels (11 bit). If there is more than one local
maximum (e.g. when the intensity is saturated), the position of the first detected maximum is
output. In order to avoid intensity saturation, it is recommended to activate the Multiple Slope
Mode of the camera.
The detection of the maximum intensity position can be improved by enabling the smoothing
mode of the FIR filter of the camera.
