Scale Factor
You can set the factor by which to multiply further measurements. Use this to factor up the value
that the sensor has measured. This is very useful when working with beam splitters with sensitive
sensors. A typical beam splitter allows about 5% of the laser beam to get through. In such a case,
the user would set the Scale Factor to 20 to get the actual output of the laser.
To apply a Scale Factor to measurements:
1.
Press

.
2.
Go to
Scale Factor
.
3.
Set to value by which to multiply all subsequent measurements. Press the
Enter
key. The Scale
Factor can be between 0.00001 and 9999 only positive. (Click
Clear
to zero the value.)
