Figure 4.8
Attenuation Screen with Beam % set to 20%
Note 1:
The attenuation screen only affects the value
displayed on that screen and nothing else. The
power and energy scales remain the same, the
damage thresholds remain the same etc. The
attenuator screen is only an extra screen to show a
different calculated number introduced by the user.
Note 2:
The attenuation value is stored in the Vega and not
the sensor so if it is set, any sensor connected will
come up with the value chosen.
