Miscellaneous
1. Intensity (digits): The maximum pixel intensity ( Max ) must not reach 255 digits to prevent
sensor saturation Below Mean and RootMeanSquare ( RMS ), Sat% indicates how many
pixels are in saturation.
2. The calculated values of Spot Diameter are used to verify the optical quality during as-
sembly.
3. The Sample Rate in frames per second (fps) is an indication of the measurement speed.

If the WFS software is connected to the DataSocket interface, the software is used as
a data source for a user application that is connected via the interface. In this case the
graphical displays become redundant and the 'Disable Graphics' option can be used to
disable GUI display updates. This saves calculation time and increases measurement
speed. All graphs including the
output panel for numerical parameters are cleared. A
corresponding message in the parameter box and in the status bar will appear:
