Reset Application Settings to Defaults
This button resets all BEAM application settings to defaults:
Application Setting Default Value Explanation
Gain Control Automatic Gain is set to automatic.
Bandwidth Control 125 kHz Instrument set to continuous data acquisition.
Baseline Correction Automatic The ADC output signal that is caused by environ-
mental and stray light is compensated.
Aperture Width 9.0 mm Full Aperture Width is used for calculations.
Active Slit Pair 5 µm Slit Pair that is used for measurement
Scanning Mode Slit Normal mode, in contrast to Knife Edge Mode
Target Scan Rate 10 Hz Scan Rate set value.
Scan Rate Correction Enabled Enabling Scan Rate Correction, a control loop will
maintain the scan rate close to the target value.
Calculation Area Preset Auto
Rectangle
Software determines a rectangular area in which the
power level is above the clip level.
Calculation Area Clip
Level 1.0 % For defining the Calculation Area in automatic mode,
the lower intensities limit is set to 1% of the peak in-
tensity to clip noise.
Averaging Mode None No averaging
Clip Level 13.50 % The clip level for calculating the ellipse and beam
width is set to 13.5% of the difference between the
baseline and the peak intensity.
Hold Maximum Disabled After reaching the max. number of data to be plotted,
with the next data acquisition the first data set will be
discarded and the the most recent set will be added.
Autoscale to Peak Enabled The diagrams that show intensities, are scaled to the
peak intensity.
Correct Beam Width Enabled Measurements results are beam-width corrected.
Reference Position Sensor
Center Reference position is set to the aperture center. Cen-
troid and peak positions are calculated relative to the
reference position.
Power Unit mW All power units are displayed in mW.
Plot Method Latest Data After reaching the max. number of data to be plotted,
with the next data acquisition the first data set will be
discarded and the the most recent set will be added.
Plot Interval Every Meas. For every measurement, the data are plotted
Max. Data Points 100000 The maximum number of data to be plotted
Velocity 200 mm/s Translation speed of the stage
Language
The language of the application can be selected.
