, the laser beam is measured at a defined position on the y-axis over a specific
period of time. The line width, line center and position on the y-axis are freely adjustable.
The measuring tip of the BeamMonitor BM+ is moved to a fixed y-position. At this position, it measures the
power density on a single measuring path with every rotation of the measurement tip.
The measurement is carried out over a defined period of time or until it is manually aborted.
