Saving and deleting beam paths
You can save a beam path by typing in a
memorable name within the drop down menu
selection box and pressing the
Save
button (floppy
disc icon). If you save a beam path under the
existing name you will be prompted to confirm
overwriting the old configuration. Press
Yes
to
overwrite,
No
to keep the old configuration.
You can delete a beam path by selecting it from
the drop down menu and pressing the
Delete
(cross icon) button.
Note, before saving an altered beam path a pinhole alignment should be performed. Pinhole
positions will than be linked to the selected beam path and called up whenever that beam path is
selected later.
