Connection to instrument lost
This status message indicates that a USB interface error occurred. Check the USB connection,
then restart the Wavefront Sensor application again.
Additional errors in High-Speed Mode
This status message warns of the risk of incorrect measurement results in High-Speed Mode
due to restricted error detection capabilities. For instance, the image saturation level is not de-
tected.
Spot centroids mismatched
After entering the High-Speed mode, the detected spot centroid positions did not match the cal-
culation windows for High-Speed mode. In other words, the spots were shifted too far and can
no longer be detected with the required accuracy.
Enable the option ' Adapt centroids ' prior to entering High-Speed Mode to overcome this situ-
ation.
