Status messages

Status message

Meaning

Waiting for laser beam

The device is ready for operation, the laser can be turned on.

Check temp.

The temperature gradient (change in the absorber temperature/time)
is checked. Please wait until the message disappears. Thereafter, the
device is ready to measure again.

Thermalize

The thermalization time allows for a uniform temperature distribution
in the absorber. Afterwards, the temperature is measured.

Finished

The measurement is completed.
