Adjust the Frequencies and Amplitudes using the
+
and

arrows on the touch screen or
use the joystick remote, up is
+

. Red highlight indicates the box with the
parameter to be adjusted. Click on the remote to switch to adjust the other values or
touch on the touchscreen. Latitudinal and longitudinal frequencies are adjustable from
0.1Hz to 80Hz and Collapse and Rotate frequencies are adjustable from -5 to 5Hz.
5.6 Display Tail Length
The pattern on the LCD screen maybe difficult to see depending on the Shape,
Frequency, and Amplitude of the pattern. Adjusting the
LCD Tail
Length can improve
the visibility of the pattern. Changing the LCD Tail length (10-1000) makes the display of
the pattern more or less visible. Note: the LCD Tail length has no effect on the actual
output to the e-beam source.
5.7 Profile
Patterns Line, Figure 8, Spiral or Programmable Shape can have a Profile setting, -10.0
to 10.0. Positive values will spend more time on the edge of the pattern, negative values
will spend more time at the center of the pattern. Some materials and patterns can
benefit from power profiling by creating a more constant beam energy density as the
beam sweeps across the area of the pocket. The heat maps below show the dwell time
distortion of the pattern. Brighter colors indicate more time spent. A positive profile is
useful for the beam to spend more time away from the center for a more even melt. A
profile setting with a negative profile number over -1 is only useful for patterns that avoid
the center.
