color palette

'Contour'

inserts contour lines into the graph indicating lines of equal

wavefront height

'Hide z axis'

hides the z-axis and the corresponding grid and caption

'2D Projection'

let the 3D graph collapse to the base x-y plane

The following items define the view of the 3D graph

'Longitude'

determines the rotation angle about the z axis

'Latitude'

determines the view angle to the graph

'Zoom'

changes the graph size (range 1...10)

Clicking

Default 3D View

adjusts all controls to the default 3D view whereas

Default Top View

rotated the graph to achieve a top view of the profile. The

default top view zoom level of 2 is to visualize the entire active sensor area
without its caption.

Autoscale

By default, the graph's z-axis is auto scaled to utilize the full diagram heights,
independent of the wavefront dynamic.
Switch the

'Autoscale'

option off to enter manually defined values for the

displayed range of the z-axis.

Note:

The absolute position of the wavefront surface with respect to the z-axis is

determined by the wavefront center that is always set to zero.

Note:

Wavefront areas that are not defined because the appropriate spot was not

detectable will not be displayed at all.
