Wavefront Sensor Setup Panel

The Wavefront Sensor GUI automatically starts measuring the applied wavefront
using favorable default parameters. Using these default settings the instrument is
able to do first measurements. Nevertheless, it is highly recommended to verify all
the applied settings.

To open the setup panel you can use the 

Menu
