Single planes
In
Single planes
measuring mode, single planes are measured at selected z-positions. Measurement win-
dow size and the gain can be set automatically or determined freely. You can also have the software search
the laser beam automatically in the entire measurement range.
To measure a manual caustic (see chapter 9.4.6 „Manual caustic measure“ on page 39), several planes
can be measured — either individually or by means of a series measurement. Therefor, an increment along
the z-axis can be configured. Since the BeamMonitor BM+ does not have a z-axis, the laser or the device
must be moved according to the entered value. With this procedure, a manual caustic can be measured.

Explanation
Graphic representation
In a window in the upper area of the
Settings
tab, the measurement
plane is displayed graphically. Here you can see:
• the entire measurable area (measurement range, thin lines)
• the area to be recorded (measurement window, thick lines)
• after performing a beam find and during the measurements, a false
color view of the recorded area
To create and move the measurement window:
X
To create a new measurement window, position the mouse pointer
anywhere within the measurement range. Drag while holding down
the left mouse button. Keep the mouse button pressed until the
measurement window meets your requirements.
X
To move the measurement window to another location, position the
mouse pointer over the measurement window. Drag while holding
down the right mouse button.
With a laser beam displayed:
