Wavefront Sensor
5.2.1.2.1 Setup Wavefront Sensor
The Wavefront Sensor GUI automatically starts measuring the applied wavefront using default
parameters. Using these default settings, the instrument is able to make initial measurements.
Nevertheless, it is highly recommended that all settings be reviewed and adjusted to suit the
application..
The setup panel can be accessed via the Menu bar (Menu -> Setup -> Wavefront Sensor...)
or
simply by right clicking on the graphical display:
Changes in instrument operation and data display parameters take immediate effect.
Click 'OK' or close the panel to save the actual settings.
Click 'Cancel' to discard all changes that were made after opening the panel; the settings will
be reverted to the state before opening the panel.
The Setup Panel is divided into five tabs:
·
Camera Settings
·
Pupil Definition
·
Wavefront
·
Zernike Fit
·
Miscellaneous
Note
Please be aware that settings for Camera Image Size, Pupil Definition and Zernike Fit (Zernike
order number) are interdependent and also impact the measurement speed.
If these settings are critical or contradictory, warnings or error messages will appear in the in-
strument status bar, see section
Measurement Warnings and Errors and Minimal Beam and
Pupil Diameter .
