Pointing Stability Tab

The Pointing Stability tab shows automatically generated graphs of the beam
position data being gathered by the cameras. You can customize how much data is
taken and save it to a .txt file.

Figure 19. Example automatically generated graphs of beam position data
found in Pointing Stability Tab

Stability Analysis

The Stability Analysis tab contains the individual data plots for X1, Y1, X2, Y2.
This is the raw data as well as user-defined averaged data, and it is controlled by
the Start test and Pause buttons on the Pointing Stability Tab. This data can be
saved to a .txt file using the Save Data button.
